The replay was established at the same time as the 1939 Iron Cross renewal on September 1, 1939 by Adolf Hitler. The cavaliers of the Iron Cross of the 1st class of 1914 were awarded, who committed an act that again justified the award of the already preserved Iron Cross class. These repeats were donated for 1st class as well as 2nd class. The 1st class has a vertical pin or screw disc and was worn above the Iron Cross in 1914. The clamps were soldered directly to the Iron Cross 1st Class on the top bracket. Rewinding of the 2nd class was performed using 4 or 2 cotter pins and fixed on the ribbon of the 1914 cross. The 1st class eagle measures 44mm and the 2nd class has a wingspan of just 30mm. During manufacture, 2 forms are distinguished. The first form of ties of both classes depicts a trapezoidal shield, whose ends are slightly bent inward. The 2nd form has straight ends on the shield.
The dimensions of the first class brackets vary from 44 mm to 45.7 mm in width, depending on the manufacturer. By 1940, braces began to be made from silver-plated zinc. For brackets with manufacturer's designation - back in the center of the wreath.
Silver-plated screed in the form of an eagle with outstretched wings, sitting on an oak leafy wreath with a shield lying under it. On the back is a vertical pin.
