Fully matching medal-set: 'KvK 2. Klasse o. Schwn.' being a clearly maker- (ie. '36'-) marked specimen that comes in its (incomplete ie. relic) pouch by the 'Hersteller': 'Burg & Leonhard - Hanau a. M.'

This is a very 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. '36'-) marked and/or neatly 'Buntmetall'-based specimen that comes packed in its original (albeit damaged ie. incomplete) pouch of issue as was produced by the (unusually found!) maker- (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Burg & Leonhard' as was based in the town of Hanau a. M. and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem issued- and/or minimally worn- ie. once mounted-), condition. The medal came together with its original, confectioned, orange-red-coloured and pre-folded (and approx. 17 cms. long-sized) ribbon and came packed in its neat (regular-sized, 'Zellstoff'-based) pouch (which shows some age and/or damage as can be seen on the pictures). The medal - which is a very nicely preserved 'Buntmetall'-based specimen - was I deem issued and hardly 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 (relic) pouch shows the printed makers'-designation of the company: 'Burg & Leonhard - Hanau a. M.' (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 a neat and fully matching 'KvK II.Kl. ohne Schwertern'-medal-set by an unusually-found maker!
