4-pieced WH (Heeres o. KM etc.) medal-bar (ie.: 'Ordenspange') resp. showing an: 'EKII. Kl.', a: 'KvK II.Kl. mit S.', a: 'WH-DA 4. St.' (with eagle-device) and a: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal (with a firmly attached 'Prager Burg-Spange')

This is a truly very decorative - and in this combination with certainty not that easily found! - four-pieced (WWII- ie. TR-period) medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') that respectively shows an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron-cross second class), a: typical 'Buntmetall'-based: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: War Merits' Cross second class with swords), a: 'WH (Heeres o. KM) Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' (as was intended for 4 years of loyal-service) and that shows a detailed, silver-toned eagle-device period-attached and a: 'Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938' (or: Czech 'Anschluss'-medal) as was awarded to all members of the armed forces that participated in the German occupation of Czechoslovakia that started on: '1. Oktober 1938' and that comes with a firmly attached 'Prager Burg-Spange', all four medals (and 'Spange'!) coming in an overall very nice- (albeit just minimally used and/or worn-), condition. All four 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 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 2. Klasse mit Schwertern' is executed in typical 'Buntmetall'-based metal and retains an attractive and just minimally 'tarnished' age-patina and has never been cleaned nor polished and therefore are details and/or finish still very nice and/or crisp. Truly almost all of its (as stated minimally 'tarnished') golden-bronze-coloured finish has been very nicely preserved, giving the medal a very nice and/or detailed appearance. The 'WH-Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' retains nice details and has a great ie. only minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina: it retains all of its somewhat 'matted'- and/or: silver-toned finish (as can be noticed on the pictures). The 'Anschluss'-medal retains also all of its original, bright-golden-bronze-toned finish: it is also a tiny bit dirty ie. tarnished, simply caused by minimal wear and/or decades of storage, something that is also valid for the neat 'Prager Burg-Spange' (as can be noticed on the pictures). The 'Ordenspange' comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- (ie. catch-) set-up and is neatly 'backed' with a piece of light-green-toned wool as is more often seen: moreover, does the piece show a period-attached, aluminium-based makers'-plaque attached that simply reads: 'Stempel Reich - Ring 55 - Breslau 1' (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: it originated as stated above from a private-household and was kept as such for decades. Simply a very attractive - and decorative! - 4-pieced, WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine) related medal-bar- ie. 'Ordenspange' that is in my opinion with certainty accordingly priced!
