2-pieced, WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine) medal-bar (ie.: 'Doppelspange') resp. showing a: 'WH-DA 4. Stufe' and an Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal '1. März 1938'

This is a truly very decorative - and in this combination with certainty not that easily found! - example of a two-pieced, WH (Heeres- o. Kriegsmarine-related-) medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange' or: 'Doppelspange') respectively showing a: 'WH (Heeres- o. Kriegsmarine) Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' (as was intended for 4 years of loyal-service) and that shows a detailed (and bright-silver-toned) eagle-device, period-attached and a so-called: Austrian 'Anschluss'-medal '1. März 1938', both awards (and device!) coming in an overall very nice- (albeit just minimally used and/or worn-), condition. Both 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 'WH-Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' truly retains gorgeous details and has a great ie. only minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina: it retains all of its somewhat 'frosted'- and/or: bright-silver-toned finish without showing any defaults. The 'Anschluss'-medal retains all of its original, bright-silver-toned finish: it is also a tiny bit dirty ie. tarnished, simply caused by minimal wear and/or decades of storage. The 'Spange' comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- (ie. catch-) set-up and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of bright-red-coloured wool as is more often seen (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! - 2-pieced, WH (Heeres- o. Kriegsmarine) related medal-bar- ie. 'Doppelspange' that is in my opinion accordingly priced!
