Superb - and unusually seen! - golden-bronze-toned so-called: 'Einzelspange' showing a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse mit Schw.' (or: war-merits' cross 2nd class with swords) being a very detailed- and/or 'Buntmetall'-based specimen

This is a truly very attractive example of an - actually unusally seen! - golden-bronze-toned, so-called: 'Einzelspange' showing a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse mit Schwertern' (or: war-merits' cross 2nd class with swords) being a very detailed- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based specimen that has (I deem) hardly been used- nor worn. The detail on this example is simply extraordinary: it has never been cleaned nor polished and has an attractive and somewhat 'darkened'- (ie. minimally tarnished) age-patina. The medal is 'mounted' onto a clasp (with functional pin- ie. catch-set-up) as was intended for wearing this example on a 'going-out'- ie. dress-tunic or 'Waffenrock'. This example retains pronounced details and has a great ie. only minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina: it truly retains all of its golden-bronze-toned finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Spange' is nicely 'backed' with a piece of darker-blue-coloured wool as is more often seen. The bright-red- (and white-/black-) coloured ribbon shows only minimal usage and/or staining. It should be mentioned that it is actually quite unusual to find a: 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse mit Schwertern' mounted as an: 'Einzelspange'!
