8-pieced WWI- (ie. WWII-) period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing an: 'EKII. Kl.', a: 'KvK II.Kl. m. S., a: 'FKK m. S.', 2x WH 'DA', a: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal with 'PB-Spange' and 2 Austrian awards

This is a truly attractive - and with certainty unusually- ie. fairly scarcely encountered! - long-sized (ie. 8-pieced!), WWI (ie. WWII-) period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') respectively showing the ribbons for a WWI-period: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron-cross second class), a WWII- (ie. TR-) period: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: war-merits' cross 2nd class with swords), a WWI-period: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwertern') having a golden-toned sword-device attached, two (WWII- ie. TR-period-) so-called: 'WH-Dienstauszeichnungen der 3. u. 4. Klasse' (or WH loyal-service medals as awarded for four- ie. twelve years of loyal service both having a (silverish-coloured-) eagle-device attached, a: 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938' (or: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal) as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia that started on: '1. Oktober 1938' and that comes with a firmly attached miniature-sized 'Prager Burg-Spange' and two Austrian (WWI-period) awards and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit used- and/or worn, condition. All eight ribbons are of the regular (ie. larger) ribbon-bar-size and measure approximately 2,5 cms. each (as is more often encountered). The 'Spange' comes in a very nice condition overall and is of course fully functional: it is, however, not assembled onto a metal 'backing-plate' but was just 'backed' with a piece of (greyish-blue-toned) wool: as such it was directly stitched onto a tunic (as can be seen on the pictures). The attached (and detailed!) 'Auflagen' ie. devices show some minimal age ie. tarnish but have all three been nicely preserved. This particular example was I deem just moderately worn ie. used: it does show some usage-marks and/or minimal aging ie. wear. Simply a very attractive 'Band- o. Feldspange' showing various (scarcely seen!) so-called: 'Auflagen' that is not that often offered for sale: great to decorate almost any TR-period tunic!
