Hello,
The Iron Cross was only issued during wars. Thus, there would be no reason for Germany to issue a current one. I don't know if this is what you were asking but I thought I would tell you. Vets still wear there 1957 versions of the awards, and I would like to think that if a Vet were still alive from the WWI era he could wear his 1914 cross for a specific event or reason. I say an event as I don't think they walk around with these any longer, but perhaps some would still wear a buttonhole as I doubt the Government could say much. Hope this helps.
