Attractive - and very nicely preserved! - 2-pieced WH (Heeres o. KM etc.) medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') showing resp. a: 'KvK II. Kl. mit Schwertern' and a: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal

The truly attractive WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine etc.) two-pieced - and non-detachable - medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') respectively shows a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: War Merits' Cross second class with swords) and a: WH Czech occupation medal '1 October 1938' (as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, which started on 1 October 1938) both awards coming in an overall very nice- (and I deem just minimally used- and/or worn-), condition. Both awards are very nicely preserved examples 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 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern' is a truly attractive (and typical 'Buntmetall'-based) example having great pronounced detail: truly most (ie. all!) of its golden-bronze-toned finish is still perfectly preserved whereas the Czech 'Anschluss'-medal has also an attractive tarnish ie. age-patina without showing any defaults. The entire 'Spange' comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- ie. catch set-up and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of black-coloured wool 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 and was kept as such for decades. Simply a very attractive - and truly decorative! - two-pieced, WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine etc.) related medal-bar that is most certainly accordingly priced!
