Attractive - two-pieced- and I deem early war-period! - WH (Heeres o. KM) medal-bar (ie. 'Doppelspange') showing resp. an: 'EKII. Klasse' and a: 'WH-Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' (having a silver-toned eagle-device attached)

The truly attractive, two-pieced (WWII- ie. TR-period and I deem truly early war-period!) WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine) medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') respectively shows an: 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (or: iron-cross second class) and a: 'WH-Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe' (having a silver-toned eagle-device attached) both awards coming in an overall very nice- (and I deem only moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. Both awards are nicely preserved examples that seem to have never been cleaned nor polished: they come in an equally minimally tarnished- ie. dusty (ie. used) condition and come naturally mounted onto their period ribbons. The iron cross - which is an attractive example by a by me unidentifed maker is - I deem - of a very early production - comes mounted onto its period ribbon. The piece was with certainty never cleaned and has a very nice and/or attractive age-patina: it has, however, lost its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a somewhat tarnished ie. minimally stained appearance (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross retains truly very nice and/or pronounced detail and has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'matted'- ie. satin-like) core: it is totally void of any paint-damage or alike and comes mounted onto its orange-red-coloured ribbon. The WH loyal-service medal is a truly very nicely preserved example that seems to have never been cleaned nor polished: it comes in a minimally tarnished- ie. dusty condition and shows a neat (silver-toned) eagle-device period-attached (which is unusally partly obscured by its ribbon!). The entire 'Spange' (which is of the 'non-detachable-pattern') comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- ie. catch set-up and is nicely 'backed' with a piece of field-grey-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 and was kept as such for decades. Simply an attractive - and truly decorative! - two-pieced medal-bar that is most certainly accordingly priced!
