'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schw.' being a maker- (ie. '3'-) marked (and/or 'Feinzink'-based) specimen by the maker: (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Wilh. Deumer' that comes stored in its original, simplified 'KvK'-etui

The attractive award is a detailed and clearly maker- (ie. '3'-) marked that is executed in (typical' zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') and comes in a moderately used- and/or worn condition. It came still stored in its original (and somewhat 'simplified') black-coloured etui as produced, issued and/or stored for decades. The attractive - and I deem typical mid- ie. somewhat later-war-period - specimen is executed in minimally tarnished, greyish-silver-coloured metal and comes in an overall nice- (albeit just moderately worn- and/or used-), condition. The naturally non-magnetic- and/or non-vaulted cross shows a somewhat tarnished age-patina but has not recently been cleaned or polished as can be seen on the pictures. The cross comes naturally mounted onto its functional (flute-shaped) pin- and/or: period catch (ie. catch-set-up) which are both present and unaltered (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece - which shows a clearly present makers'-designation on its back (as more often encountered by pieces produced by this maker) - comes as found and/or stored for decades. The etui comes in an equally nicely preserved condition: it is fully functional (and shows the printed, detailed and/or silverish-grey-coloured 'KvK'-symbol ie. silhouette on its top). The etui - that also shows a glued-on 'inventory-etiket' on its back - has a fully preserved, black-coloured- (ie. artificial velvet-based-) interior-section (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a neat occasion to acquire an attractive and fully complete (and neatly maker-marked!): 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schwertern'-set for a justified price!
