Stonemint medal-set: 'Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' being a maker- (ie. '51'-) marked specimen by the maker: 'Eduard Görlach & Söhne'
This is a very attractive medal-set: 'Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' (ie. 'Ost'- or Eastern-Front medal) being a clearly maker- (ie. '51'-) marked- (and/or: typical zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based) specimen that was produced by the (unusually seen!) maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Eduard Görlach & Söhne' as was based in the town of Gablonz (ie. 'Hersteller 51') and that comes together with its (truly 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 ie. never used. The award shows a somewhat 'matted' (ie. greyish-blue-) coloured age-patina and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and therefore are details and/or finish still very nice and/or crisp. Simply a very attractive, maker-marked example of a: 'Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten 1941-42' that is with certainty accordingly priced!
