Hitlers WW1, EK1

Was the Iron Cross Hitler wore in later years the flat or vaulted medal? I cannot tell from books or television. Was did the vaulted design of 1914 a period war time medal or was it private purchase post war?

No responses to date, but from all the illustrations I have looked at so far including contemporary newsreel footage, it appears that Hitler wore the flat version of the EK1. Whether or not it was his original issue medal will probably never be known.
