This Third Class Eagle Order with Swords is a stunning piece. The top quality white enamel on both sides is clean and perfect, with no chips. The beautifully detailed silver eagle emblems have taken on attractive dark age toning. The suspension ring is intact. This attractive cross is complete with its original ribbon, which is crisp and clean, with only extremely slight age toning. The original pin attachment on the reverse is functional and is neatly hand stitched in place. The original case of issue is present, and is in outstanding condition, with bright original color and nearly full original surface to the crimson leather covering. The large, bold, embossed German eagle and swastika emblem on the lid is virtually perfect. The clasps on the case are intact and functional. Inside the case, the white silk lining for the lid is marked with the German designation of the award. There is very slight patina to the white silk lining. The cross lies on an insert lined with a fine black velvet, which is perfect. It would be hard to find a better example of a 3rd Class Eagle Order with Swords. The condition rates as excellent plus overall.
