This is an attractive - and just moderately used- and/or worn - 3-pieced, 'WWI'-period-related medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') respectively depicting a WWI-period: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron cross second class), a neatly bright-red-enamelled (and 'Buntmetall'-based!) so-called: 'Hanseatenkreuz Bremen' (depicting a silver-toned 'key' on its front and showing on its back the text: 'für Verdienst im Kriege 1914' and a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwertern'), all three awards coming in an overall very nice- (and I deem only moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. All three awards are truly nicely preserved examples that seem to have never been cleaned nor polished: they come in an equally minimally tarnished- ie. dusty (ie. used) condition and come naturally mounted onto their period ribbons. The detail on the 'EKII. Klasse' is truly stunning and nicely preserved: it has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished and has an attractive and/or minimally tarnished age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). It retains nice details and has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like'- ie. 'shiny-style') core and is void of any damage nor paint-loss. The neat 'Hanseatenkreuz Bremen' is a nicely preserved example that is totally void of any enamel-damage or alike (as can be noticed on the pictures). The FKK 1914-18 shows a clear makers'-designation on its back (that reads: 'PS'). The detail on this award is also nicely preserved but it does show some tarnished age-patina and some minimal staining (as can be seen on the pictures). All three awards - which show their nicely preserved, period ribbons - come 'period-mounted' onto a metal-based 'clasp' that is neatly backed with a piece of bright-red-coloured wool (and that shows a still functional pin- ie. catch-set-up) as was intended for wearing this example on a 'going-out'- ie. dress-tunic or 'Waffenrock'. Simply an attractive example of a three-pieced, WWI-period-related 'Ordenspange' that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
