This is an attractive - and with certainty unusually- ie. fairly scarcely encountered! - larger-sized (ie. six-pieced!) WWI- (ie. WWII- ie. Spanish Civil War-) period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing respectively the ribbons for various WWI-period (and foreign!) awards such as: a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: War Merits' Cross second class with swords) having a golden-toned sword-device attached, a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwertern'), a: 'Dienstauszeichnung für 4 Jahre Treue Dienste' (or: 4-years loyal-service medal having a detailed, silver-toned eagle-device attached), a: 'Dienstauszeichnung für 12 Jahre Treue Dienste' (or: 12-years loyal-service medal having a detailed, silverish-golden-toned eagle-device attached), a: Spanish Civil-War commemorative-medal with swords-device attached and a: WWI-period Austrian commemorative-medal and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit used- and/or worn, condition. All six ribbons are of the regular (ie. smaller) ribbon-bar-size and measure approximately 1,5 cms. each (as is more often encountered). The 'Spange' comes in a nice condition overall and is of course fully functional: it is assembled onto a metal (and minimally rust-stained) 'backing-plate' that is not backed (as can be seen on the pictures). The attached (and detailed!) 'Auflagen' ie. sword-devices show some minimal age ie. tarnish but have all 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, somewhat larger-sized 'Band- o. Feldspange' showing various (some scarcely seen!) awards and that comes not that often for sale: great to decorate almost any TR-period tunic!
