Attractive - albeit partly somewhat rust-stained - example of a 2-pieced WH (Heeres o. KM etc.) medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') showing resp. an: 'EKII. Kl.' and a Czech 'Anschluss'-medal

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably somewhat ruststained - WWII- (ie. TR-) period, 2-pieced WH (Heeres o. KM etc.) medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') that respectively shows an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron-cross second class) 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 nice- (and I deem just minimally used- and/or worn-), condition. Both medals are nicely preserved examples that seem to have never been cleaned nor polished: both come in an equally minimally tarnished- ie. dusty condition and naturally also come mounted onto 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 nice and/or attractive age-patina: it has just a minimally tarnished appearance and does show some rust-staining in its bottom-area (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: apart from the mentioned rust-staining is it void of any paint-damage or alike. 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 darker-green-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!
