German WWI Iron Cross 1st Class Grouping with Named Award Document, Johannes von Dassel Signed

We are pleased to offer this German WWI Iron Cross 1st Class grouping, complete with a named award document signed by Johannes von Dassel. The Iron Cross 1st Class was one of Imperial Germany’s most recognized decorations for bravery and distinguished military service, and the presence of a named award document adds important personal and historical context. Though additional recipient details, unit information, and medal condition notes were not provided, the document and signature make this grouping a much stronger offering than an isolated award.

The 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class was awarded during the First World War for notable acts of courage, leadership, or military distinction. Unlike the 2nd Class, the 1st Class was worn directly on the uniform breast, making it a prominent and respected decoration. Named award documents are highly valued because they help restore the identity of the recipient and connect the physical decoration to the administrative and military record of the war.

This grouping offers the kind of named context that Imperial German collectors increasingly seek. The Iron Cross 1st Class remains a cornerstone award, but the associated document and Johannes von Dassel signature give this lot stronger research potential and display value. We see it as an excellent addition for collectors of WWI German decorations, named medal groupings, and Imperial military documents.
