The Iron Cross is a black four-pointed cross with white trim, with the arms widening toward the ends. The ribbon varies for each war the Iron Cross is commisioned for. Since the Iron Cross is issued over each war, it is annotated with the year indicating the era in which it was issued. It is possible for a holder of a older Iron Cross to be awarded a second or higher grade of a newer Iron Cross. In such cases, a "New Clasp" would be worn on the original 1914 Iron Cross.
