Hello Estaban,
The Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class are about the same size around 44mm
The Knight Cross is a bit bigger at a tad bit over 48mm
drum roll please ..... this is the die that made Herman Goering Grand Cross ... it is way over 48mm in measurement and that is not including the additional measurement of the frame.
The collector who purchased this die told me that the seller who sold it to him describe that it was the die for the Knight Cross, but it is way too big to be a Knight Cross.
Hope y'all like the photo. My X-mas present to the forum. All I need now is to find some special Soviet award to post.
