Medal-set: 'Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' being a maker- (ie. '108'-) marked specimen by the maker: 'Arno Wallpach'
This is an attractive medal-set: 'Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' (ie. 'Ost'- or Eastern-Front medal) being a clearly maker- (ie. '108'-) marked- (and/or: typical zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based) specimen that was produced by the (Austrian-based) maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Arno Wallpach' as was based in the town of Salzburg (ie. 'Hersteller 108') and that comes together with its (minty, non-confectioned- ie. just folded and approx. 19 cm.-sized) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') as issued and/or recently found. The piece - which is a nicely preserved zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based specimen - was most certainly issued but hardly used. The award shows a somewhat 'shiny' (ie. greyish-blue-) coloured age-patina and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and therefore are details and/or finish still nice and/or crisp. Simply an attractive, maker-marked example of a: 'Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' that is with certainty accordingly priced!
