German WWII Iron Cross 1st Class 1939 | Maker Marked "128" S. Jablonski GmbH

A desirable original German WWII Iron Cross, First Class (Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1939), maker marked "128" for S. Jablonski GmbH, a recognized wartime manufacturer of German military decorations.

The award features the classic blackened iron core surrounded by a silver-colored frame, with the raised 1939 date and central swastika characteristic of the WWII-pattern Iron Cross. The surviving wartime finish and natural patina give the piece the unmistakable appearance collectors look for in an original period decoration.

The Iron Cross 1st Class represented a higher grade of the Iron Cross and was awarded to servicemen who had already received the Iron Cross 2nd Class and subsequently distinguished themselves through further acts of military merit or bravery.

The clearly visible "128" maker mark adds substantial collector interest by identifying the manufacturer and making this a particularly attractive example for anyone building a collection of German WWII medals, awards, or personal military artifacts.
