A fascinating and clearly service-used example of the German Cross in Gold, six-rivet type, produced by Deschler & Sohn. This is the heavy version, showing evident signs of field wear and use. While much of the enamel from the central emblem is missing, the red enamel ring beneath the wreath remains fully intact. The front finish has faded through wear, giving it a strong, authentic appearance.

The reverse retains all six distinctive Deschler rivets. The pin, catch, and hinge assembly are completely original, with the pin noticeably bent inward—a trait often seen on combat-worn decorations. This practical adjustment was made by recipients to ensure a tighter fit when worn on the tunic, by reducing the space between the body of the award and the securing pin.

Deschler’s six-rivet variants were never maker marked, which is consistent with this example. A compelling piece with clear battlefield character.
