This is an attractive - and unusually seen! - 4-pieced, WWII-period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing respectively the ribbons for 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 (golden- ie. silver-coloured-) eagle-device attached, a rarely seen 'Zollgrenzschütz-Ehrenzeichen' (or: customs loyal-service medal) having a detailed eagle-device attached and a: 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 13. März 1938' (or: Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal) as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Austria that started on: '1. März 1938', all four ribbons (and 'Auflagen') coming in a wonderful- (and only moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The ribbons are of the regular (ie. smaller), ribbon-bar-size and measure approximately 1 cms. each (as is more often encountered). The 'Spange' comes in a very nice condition overall and is not 'backed' with a piece of wool but comes mounted onto a metal-based 'backing-plate' (as more often). The attached (and very detailed!) devices shows some minimal age ie. tarnish but have been nicely preserved. This particular example was in my opinion only moderately worn ie. used: it does show some usage-marks and/or moderate aging ie. wear. Simply an attractive 'Feld- o. Bandspange' having an desirable combination: great to decorate almost any WWII-tunic!
