Superb, 3-pieced WWII-period medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') showing respectively an: 'EKII. Kl.', a: 'KvK II.Kl. mit Schwertern' and an: 'Ost'-medal

The truly attractive - and truly very nicely preserved! - three-pieced (WWII- ie. TR-period) medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') shows respectively an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron-cross second class), a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz der II. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: war merits'-cross second class with swords) and a: 'Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42'-medal (ie. 'Ost'-medal), all three awards coming in an overall very nice- (and I deem only moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. All three awards are truly 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 on their period ribbons. The iron cross - which is an attractive example that was produced by a by me unidentified the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') - was with certainty never cleaned and has a very nice and/or attractive age-patina: it has just a minimally tarnished appearance (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross retains truly very nice and/or pronounced detail and has a very nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'matted'- ie. satin-like) core: it is totally void of any paint-damage or alike. The 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz der II. Klasse mit Schwertern' is a neat golden-bronze-toned- and/or typical 'Buntmetall'-based example that has been nicely preserved. The 'Ost'-medal is a typical unmarked, zinc- (ie 'Feinzink'-) based example that is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained: it was, however, was never cleaned nor polished. The medal has a somewhat 'matted' (ie. greyish-blue) coloured age-patina and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and therefore are details and/or finish still very nice and/or crisp (as can be seen on the pictures). The entire 'Spange' (which is of the 'non-detachable-pattern') comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- ie. catch set-up and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of darker-blue-coloured wool as is more often seen (as can be seen on the pictures). This neat 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 an attractive - and truly decorative! - three-pieced, WWII-period medal-bar that is nowadays not that easily found and that is most certainly accordingly priced!
