Third Reich Second Class Schinkel Form Iron Cross.

[DAK D]

Here are some photos of an early WW2 second class Iron Cross.

These were made using WW1 frames and they are smaller than a standard WW2 Iron Cross. Notice the ribbon has a very distinctive orange central part.

The last photo shows a comparison between the "Shinkel Iron Cross" and a standard WW2 produced Iron Cross. (Photo credit for the two different versions together goes to Stewart's Military Antiques)

Thanks @Afrikakorpsrat64,

Thanks Chaps,

By the way this particular second class Iron Cross was manufactured by Deumer, these Schinkel form 2nd class Iron Crosses are the most common version.
