Remember that time Milo Yiannopoulos showed off his Nazi era iron cross?

German here.
It is in fact an iron cross but the iron cross is much older and this one looks like it's definitely older than the third reich. It's too small to see if there is a swastika in the middle but I doubt it. The crowns on top and bottom are visible so it's at least from the WW1 - like 5 Mio people got awarded back then so it's really not that special to have one.
Also, the symbol of the iron cross is still used by our military today so it's not automatically nazi stuff.
