Attractive example of a two-pieced medal-bar (ie.: 'Doppel- o. Ordenspange') resp. showing a: 'WH-DA 4. Stufe' (with firmly attached eagle-device) and an Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal '1 März 1938'

This is a truly decorative - and with certainty not that easily found! - example of a two-pieced, medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange' or: 'Doppelspange') being of the 'non-detachable'-pattern, respectively showing a: 'WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine) 'Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' (as was intended for 4 years of loyal-service) that shows a detailed, 'Heeres'-type-eagle-device period-attached and a so-called: Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal '1 März 1938' (as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Austria that started on: '1. März 1938') both medals coming in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used and/or worn-), condition. Both awards are nicely preserved examples that seem to have never been cleaned nor polished: both come in an equally minimally tarnished- (ie. dusty) condition and come naturally mounted onto their period ribbons. The 'WH-Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' retains nice details and has a great ie. only minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina: it retains all of its somewhat 'matted'- and/or: silver-toned finish without showing any defaults. The 'Anschluss'-medal retains almost all of its original, bright-silver-toned finish: it is also a tiny bit dirty ie. tarnished, simply caused by minimal wear and/or decades of storage (as can be noticed on the pictures). The 'Spange' comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- (ie. catch-) set-up and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of field-coloured wool as is more often seen (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Spange' is most certainly a period-compiled- and/or worn piece and is NOT a post-war compilation or alike. Simply an attractive - and decorative! - 2-pieced, medal-bar- (ie. 'Doppelspange') that is in my opinion accordingly priced!
