'Einzelspange' (ie. single-pieced medal-bar) showing an Iron Cross 2nd class (or: 'Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse') by a (by me) unidentified maker

This is an attractive - and I deem moderately used- and/or surely worn! - example of an Iron Cross 2nd class (or: 'Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse') that comes period-mounted as a so-called: 'Einzelspange' (or: single-pieced medal-bar) and that comes in an overall nice- (I deem clearly worn- and/or used-), condition. The cross - of which the exact maker could not be identified by me - has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected: it was most certainly issued but hardly worn as such and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished. It has a somewhat darkened age-patina and black-coloured- and somewhat satin-like 'core' (which shows no paint-damage but that shows a polished swastika). The piece retains a nicely ie. fully preserved, satin-like (ie. 'matted') black-coloured 'core' as can be seen on the pictures. I could not determine if the cross is a maker-marked-example: the ring is firmly hidden under the neatly confectioned ribbon. The (magnetic) cross just shows some minimal dirt and/or dust acquired over the years: the (bright-red-coloured) ribbon shows some equal minor usage and/or staining. The cross has great detail and was never polished: it has lost, however, its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or polished sides) as can be seen on the pictures. The cross ie. 'Spange' has truly nice detail and is neatly 'backed' with a piece of field-grey-coloured wool (that shows a functional pin- ie. pin/catch-set-up as can be seen on the pictures). Still an attractive IC 2nd class by a by me unidentified maker that comes period-mounted as an: 'Einzelspange' and that is I deem most certainly accordingly priced!
