Theattractive replica medal is the German Imperial / Prussian
Grand Cross of the Iron Cross. It was originally intended for Prussian generals
and it was the highest grade of the Iron Cross.
Along with the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class, the Grand Cross was established on
March 10, 1813
, during the Napoleonic Wars. It was renewed in 1870 again in 1914 for the First World War. This is the 1870 Franco-Prussian War version of the medal.
My replica measures just over 6 centimeters across and weighs 48 grams (1.7 oz.).
It comes with 12 inches (unfinished ends) of the appropriate 55 mm (width) black and white Prussian “war ribbon.”
