Fully matching medal-set: 'KvK 2. Klasse o. Schwn.' being a clearly maker- (ie. '41'-) marked specimen in pouch by the 'Hersteller': 'Gebr. Bender - Oberstein / Nahe'

This is an attractive - and fully matching! - medal-set: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse ohne Schwertern' (or: War Merits' Cross second class without swords) comprising of a clearly maker- (ie. '41'-) marked and/or neatly 'Buntmetall'-based specimen that comes packed in its original pouch of issue as was produced by the (unusually found!) maker- (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Gebr. Bender' as was based in the town of Oberstein and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem issued- but simply never worn- not even mounted-), condition. The medal came together with its original, non-confectioned, orange-red-coloured and pre-folded (and approx. 14 cms. long-sized) ribbon and came packed in its neat (somewhat smaller-sized 'Zellstoff'-based) pouch (which is fully complete but that shows some minor storage-age as can be seen on the pictures). The medal - which is a very nicely preserved 'Buntmetall'-based specimen - was I deem issued but simply never used nor worn. The medal has a quite 'shiny' (ie. darkened-bronze) coloured age-patina and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and therefore are details and/or finish still very nice and/or crisp. The pouch comes as stated above in an equally nicely preserved condition: it shows the printed makers'-designation of the company: 'Gebr. Bender - Oberstein / Nahe' (as is printed on its back as stated above). It should be noted that the 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse ohne Schwertern'-award is quite commonly encountered: those matching sets are most certainly NOT!. This particular example originates from a larger KVK-collection that was compiled over many years and that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply one of the nicest, and fully matching 'KvK II.Kl. ohne Schwertern'-medal-sets by this particular maker I had on offer for quite some time!
