5-pieced, WWI- (ie. WWII-) period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing various WWI- (ie. TR-) period awards amongst which a: WWI-period: 'EK II. Kl.' (with detailed 'Wiederholungs-Spange Miniatur!')

This is an attractive, five-pieced WWI- (ie. Third Reich-) period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing respectively the ribbons for various WWI-period awards such as a: WWI-period: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron cross 2nd class) that shows a (very detailed and truly 'frosted'!) 'Wiederholungs-Spange'-miniature (ie. 'Miniatur') attached, a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (or: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwertern') having a golden-toned sword-device attached, a: WH (Heeres o. KM) 'Dienst-Auszeichnung der 4. Stufe' (or: loyal-service medal as was awarded for four years of loyal service) having a neat (smaller-sized, bright-silver-toned) Heeres-eagle-device attached), a: 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938' (or: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia that started on: '1. Oktober 1938') and an (Austrian) WWI-period commemorative award having a golden-toned sword-device attached. All five ribbons (and 'Auflagen'!) come in a wonderful- (and only moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The ribbons are of the regular (ie. smaller), ribbon-bar-size and measure approximately 1,5 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 firmly mounted onto a metal-based 'backing-plate' (as more often). The attached devices show some minimal age ie. tarnish but has been very nicely preserved. This particular example was in my opinion just moderately worn ie. used: it does show some usage-marks and/or minimal aging ie. wear. Simply an attractive 'Feld- o. Bandspange' having an desirable combination: great to decorate almost any tunic!
