Blue enameled cross in gold with eagles in between each cross arm, the obverse inlaid in gold the crown and cypher “F” for Friedrich on the top cross arm, “Pour le Mérite” (“For Merit”) reads across the left arm to the right and ending on the bottom arm, the reverse presents blue-enameled cross arms and eagles between each quadrant. Hollow construction with weep holes to the sides of the cross arms. The cross features the gold oak leaf mounted on a golden suspension ring attached to the so-called baroque eyelet, with a piece of black ribbon with three silver stripes.

This unmarked cross with oak leaf was either awarded right before or during the beginning of WWI. Though it is unmarked, it is undoubtedly from the shop of Wagner in Berlin.

An extremely rare opportunity to acquire the most desirable type of Pour le Mérites in an unprecedented condition.

The cross and oak leaf are stone mint!
