This is an attractive example of a presuambly issued- but hardly worn example of a WWI-period: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron cross second class) and that comes as issued and/or recently found. The detail on this example is nicely preserved: it has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished and has an attractive and/or minimally tarnished age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). The ... read more
Superb, golden-bronze-coloured- (and I deem 'Buntmetall'-based-) example of a: 'Deutsch-Italienische Feldzugsmedaille' (or: German-Italian campaign medal) that came together with its (regular-sized) piece of original ribbon
The truly attractive - and actually not that often seen - medal is stamped by the designer ie. cutter (named: 'De Marohis') and is also neatly maker- (ie. 'Lorioli-Milano'-) marked as is always the case with these neat and desirable, foreign, commemorative awards. The pronounced medal retains most (ie. all!) of its minimally darkened, golden-bronze-coloured finish and has simply never been clea... read more
Attractive, 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung in Bronze' (ie. '3. Stufe für 10 Jahre t. Dienste') being a (typical) non-maker-marked- (and 'light-weight'!) example that comes together with its (full length!) period ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt')
This is a truly very attractive - and I deem issued- albeit simply never used- nor even mounted! - example of a so-called: 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung in Bronze' (ie. being of the '3. Stufe für 10 Jahre treue Dienste') being a typical non-maker-marked- and/or so-called: 'light-weight'-example that comes together with its (full-length, non-confectioned and/or folded ie. 19 cms.-sized-) period... read more
Attractive, WH (Heeres) trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia (ie.: 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen') as was intended for a: 'Gasschutzunteroffizier' (or: gas-training NCO) being a machine-embroidered- and/or later-war-period 'variant'
This is an attractive example of a WH (Heeres) so-called: trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia (or: 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen') as was specifically intended for a: 'Gasschutz-Unteroffizier' (or: gas-training NCO) and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem never used- ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. The neat patch is (as always) executed on a field-grey-coloured- and/or wool... read more
Superb, silver-coloured- (and I deem 'Feinzink'-based-) example of a: 'Deutsch-Italienische Feldzugsmedaille' (or: German-Italian campaign medal) that came together with its (regular-sized) piece of original ribbon
The truly attractive - and actually not that often seen - medal is stamped by the designer ie. cutter (named: 'De Marohis') and is also neatly maker- (ie. 'Lorioli-Milano'-) marked as is always the case with these neat and desirable, foreign, commemorative awards. The pronounced medal retains most (ie. all!) of its minimally darkened, silverish-coloured finish and has simply never been cleaned ... read more
