WWI- (ie. TR-) period 'Orden- o. Doppelspange' depicting a: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwn.' and a (scarcely seen!): 'Erinnerungsmedaille für Rettung aus Gefahr'
This is a very attractive - and in this uncommonly found combination actually very scarcely seen! - two-pieced medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') respectively depicting a WWI-period: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwertern') and a neatly bright silver-toned (ie. genuine silver-based- and '835'-marked) so-called: 'Erinnerungsmedaille für Rettung aus Gefahr' (or: life-saving service-medal) both pieces coming in an overall very nice- (albeit minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. Both awards are truly bronze- (ie. darkened-golden) and/or bright-silver-coloured and 'fairly frosted' examples that are just minimally tarnished by age and/or moderate usage and wear (as can be seen on the pictures) but are both void of any damage or alike. Both pieces come naturally mounted on their period ribbons and have a nicely preserved age-patina and are just a tiny bit dirty: they were (I deem) never cleaned nor polished (as can be seen on the pictures). The entire 'Spange' is nicely 'backed' with a piece of beige-coloured (ribbed-style) linnen and shows a (regular-type- and functional) pin- ie. catch-set-up (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' is a clearly maker- (ie. 'G17'-) marked example whereas the life-saving medal shows an engraved makers- ie. silver-content-marking on its rim that reads: '835 - pr. m. bln.' (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply an attractive example of an unusally seen, two-pieced WW1- (ie. Third Reich-) period 'Ordenspange' in an uncommonly found combination that is I deem accordingly priced!
