Beautiful ca 1916 Prussian Iron Cross 1st Class in Screwback with Patented (DRGM) Attachment

This is a beautiful circa 1916 Prussian Iron Cross 1st Class in screwback. This insignia has a patented affixation (DRGM). This was most likely made by the badge-maker Meybauer. On the badge is a crown up top, below that is the letter "W," and "1914" lies at the bottom.

Circa 1916.

Approximately 1-3/4" in height x 1-3/4" in width x 1/4" in depth.

Iron and silver, with Tombak findings.

Screwback.

"W. D.R.G.M. 653146"

8+ (Excellent): Light wear. Screwback works well, tarnish adds to the look.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
