Attractive, WH-related, so-called: 'Verdienstauszeichnung o. Steckkreuz für Angehörige der Ostvölker, 1. Kl. in Silber ohne Schwertern' being a maker- (ie. '100'-) marked example that comes stored in its accompanying, period-etui
This is an attractive - just moderately used and actually fairly scarcely encountered! - WH-related, so-called: 'Verdienstauszeichnung o. Steckkreuz für Angehörige der Ostvölker, 1. Klasse in Silber ohne Schwertern' (or: silver-class 'Ostvölker' merit-medal ie. breast-star for merit on the Eastern Front being of the second-class-pattern without swords) being a neatly maker- (ie. '100'- thus by the 'Hersteller': 'Rudolf Wächtler & Lange'-) marked- and/or: silvered 'Feinzink'-based example that comes stored in its period-etui as issued and/or recently found. The neat award comes in an overall very nice- (I deem only minimally used ie. worn-) condition and retains most of its (fairly glossy) silver-toned finish and still retains great pronounced detail (it is just a tiny bit tarnished- ie. dirty as to be expected but was never cleaned nor polished: it comes naturally mounted onto its functional (and unaltered) pin- and/or pin-catch set-up as can be seen on the pictures). The etui comes in a nicely preserved - albeit clearly used! - condition: it is fully functional and is nicely preserved (as can be seen on the pictures). The faily luxuriously-styled etui (that shows the typical 'square-sized corners' as more often) has a fully preserved, black-coloured (ie. simulated velvet) interior-section that shows a clear imprint of the badge it once held (as can be seen on the pictures). The etuis'-top shows a (fully preserved and silver-toned) illustration of the badge (as can be seen on the pictures). The etui was I deem just moderately used and does show some obvious age, wear and/or staining. Simply a attractive - and desirable! - WH-related, so-called: 'Verdienstauszeichnung o. Steckkreuz für Angehörige der Ostvölker, 1. Klasse in Silber ohne Schwertern' that is accordingly priced!
