Attractive, 4-pieced, WWII-period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing the ribbons for an: 'EK II.Kl.', a: 'KvK II.Kl. m. Schw.', a: WH 'Dienstauszeichnung der 4. Stufe' and a Czech 'Anschluss'-medal

This is an attractive 4-pieced, WWII-period ribbon-bar (ie. 'Feld- o. Bandspange') showing respectively the ribbons for an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron cross second class), a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: War Merits' Cross second class with swords) having a golden-toned sword-device attached, a: WH (Heeres o. KM) 'Dienstauszeichnung der 4. Stufe' (as was awarded for 4 years of loyal-service) and that shows a silver-toned (albeit tarnished) eagle-device attached and a: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal which medal was. awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, which started on 1 October 1938), all four ribbons (and 'Auflagen') coming in a wonderful- (and only moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The ribbons are of the regular (ie. smaller), ribbon-bar-size and measure approximately 1 cms. each (as is more often encountered). The 'Spange' comes in a very nice condition overall and is neatly 'backed' with a piece of black-coloured wool (as more often). The attached (and very detailed!) devices show some minimal age ie. tarnish but have both been very nicely preserved. This particular example was in my opinion only moderately worn ie. used: it does show some usage-marks and/or minimal aging ie. wear. Simply an attractive and somewhat larger-sized 'Feld- o. Bandspange' having an unusual combination: great to decorate almost any WWII-tunic!
