Superb, 8-pieced WWI- (ie. TR-) related medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') depicting an: 'EKII.Kl., an: 'Hanseatenkreuz 1914', an: 'FKK 1914-18 mit S.', a: 'TD-Ez. der 2. Kl.', a: 'Zollgrenzschütz-Ez.' and two Austrian WWI-period comm. medals

This is an attractive - and actually in combination not that often ie. truly scarcely seen! - WWI- (ie. Third Reich-) related, long-sized- (ie. eight-pieced!) medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') (and accompanying, matching and also 8-pieced 'Feld- o. Bandspange'!) being of the 'non-detachable'-pattern respectively depicting a WWI-period: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron cross second class), a neatly enamelled: 'Hanseatenkreuz Hamburg 1914', a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwertern'), a: 'Preußen Dienstauszeichnung 1. Klasse 1913 für 15 Jahre Treue Dienste', a Third Reich-period- and neatly bright-silver-toned: 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse' (or: silver-class, loyal-service-medal for 25 yrs. of loyal civil-service), a (scarcely seen!): 'Zollgrenzschütz-Ehrenzeichen' (or: customs loyal-service medal) and two Austrian WWI-period commemorative-medals, all eight pieces coming in an overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. All eight awards are truly neatly silver- (ie. bronze- or golden- ie. silver) coloured and are 'fairly frosted' examples that are all eight just minimally tarnished by age and/or moderate usage and wear: they are all totally void of any damage or alike and the enamelled surfaces of the 'Hanseatenkreuz' is fully preserved without showing any damage (as can be seen on the pictures). All eight pieces come naturally mounted onto their period ribbons and have a nicely preserved age-patina and are just a tiny bit dirty: they were never cleaned nor polished (as can be seen on the pictures). The entire 'Spange' - which measures in total: 23,5 cms. in size - is of the 'non-detachable'-pattern and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of bluish-black-coloured wool and shows a (regular-type- and of course functional) pin- ie. catch-set-up (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' is a maker-marked example that shows the makers'-designation: 'N.&.H.' (as can be noticed on the pictures). Of additional interest is naturally the fact that this interesting set came together with its accompanying, matching and also 8-pieced 'Feld- o. Bandspange' (ie. ribbon-bar): both pieces were never part of a collection and were recently uncovered in a private-household in Germany. Simply a very attractive example of a larger-sized, ie. eight-pieced(!), WWI- (ie. Third Reich- and/or: 'Austrian'-) related 'Ordenspange' that comes in an uncommonly found combination and that will be very hard to be upgraded!
