A Knight’s Cross of the War Service Cross with Swords.
A fine quality early example in 900 silver. The bottom arm of the Cross is stamped on one side ‘900’ and ‘20’ [C.F. Zimmermann, Pforzheim] on the other side. It is an issued example, having a few tiny knocks and scratches. The riband has a small metal hook for attaching to a metal loop under the tunic collar, with the matching one missing from the other end of the riband, very fine £1,500-£2,000

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, A Fine Collection of German Second World War Combat Awards.
