Superb, 3-pieced N.S.D.A.P.-related medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') showing a: 'D.A. in Silber' (ie. '2. Stf. für 15 Jahre t.D.'), a: 'D.A. in Bronze' (ie. '3. Stf. für 10 Jahre t.D.') and an: Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal
This is a truly very attractive - and I deem only minimally used- and/or worn example - of a three-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') showing respectively a nicely enamalled: 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung in Silber' (ie. being of the '2. Stufe für 15 Jahre treue Dienste') being a non-maker-marked example (as always), a: 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung in Bronze' (ie. being of the '3. Stufe für 10 Jahre treue Dienste') being a non-maker-marked- (and/or so-called: 'heavy-weight') example and an: Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal ie. 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 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' and that come all three period-mounted as a (detachable!) 'Ordenspange' and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit issued- and I deem only minimally worn- ie. used-), condition. Both - pronounced and very detailed! - 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnungen' have most certainly never been cleaned and retain most (ie. all!) of their darker-bronze- ie. truly bright-coloured, silver-toned finish: both (non-maker-marked) awards retain great pronounced detail. The silver-class award retains a fully undamaged and nicely preserved typical (darker-blue) enamelled finish (without showing any damage or alike). The award also retains most of its high-polished sides ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten' (as can be seen on the pictures). It simply shows hardly any wear nor age but is minimally tarnished (ie. dirty), caused by years of storage only. The Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal has a nicely preserved, silver-toned finish showing some minimal tarnish: it has, however, never been cleaned nor polished and truly retains all of its period silver-toned finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Spange' just shows some minimal dirt and/or dust acquired over the years: the ribbons show some equal minor usage and/or staining. The 'Spange' has truly very nice detail and is neatly 'backed' with a piece of black-coloured wool and comes naturally mounted on its (still functional) pin-ie. catch set-up. Simply an attractive and desirable example of a detachable, N.S.D.A.P.-related 3-pieced 'Ordenspange' having an unusual combination and that can be mounted on almost any TR-period tunic!
