This is an attractive - just minimally used- and/or worn and is this particular combination actually scarcely seen! - example of a non-detachable, four-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') that is respectively showing a neatly 'Buntmetall'-based: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse ohne Schwertern' (or: war-merits-cross second class without swords), a: WH (Heeres, Luftwaffe etc.) so-called: 'Dienstauszeichnung für 4 Jahre Treue Dienste' (or: or loyal-service medal for 4 years of loyal service) that unusually comes without an eagle-device (ie. 'Auflage'): it never had one attached, a: WH Czech-occupation- (ie. 'Anschluss'-) medal: '1. Oktober 1938' (ie. 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938') as was awarded to all 'Deutsche Wehrmacht'-members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia that started on: '1. Oktober 1938' and a: 'Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen' (aka: 'Westwall'-medal) being a typical 'Buntmetall'-based specimen all four awards coming in an overall very nice- (and I deem just minimally used- and/or worn-), condition. All four awards are truly nicely preserved examples without showing any defaults 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 'KvK II. Klasse' is truly stunning and nicely preserved: it has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished and has an attractive and/or minimally tarnished (ie. typical: 'Buntmetall'-based) age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). The WH loyal-service medal is a also a very nicely preserved example that seems to have never been cleaned nor polished: it comes in a minimally tarnished- ie. dusty condition. The Czech 'Anschluss'-medal retains also all of its original, bright-golden-bronze-toned finish: it is also a tiny bit dirty ie. tarnished, simply caused by minimal wear and/or decades of storage. The 'Westwall'-medal is a neat 'Buntmetall'-based specimen (as can be noticed on the pictures). The 'Spange' comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- (ie. catch-) set-up but is not 'backed' with a piece of wool and comes mounted onto a nickle-chrome-based 'backing-plate' as is more often seen (as can be seen on the pictures). The medal-bar was recently found at a private-household in Germany and was never before part of a collection. The 'Spange' is most certainly a period-compiled- and/or worn piece and is NOT a post-war compilation or alike: it originated as stated above from a private-household and was kept as such for decades. Simply a very attractive - and decorative! - four-pieced, WH related medal-bar- ie. 'Ordenspange' that is in my opinion, accordingly priced!
