'Ehrenblattspange des Heeres' (or: army honour-roll clasp) being a 'Buntmetall'- (ie. 'Tombak'-) based example by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Otto Klein & Co.' that comes in its rarely seen black-toned etui
This is a superb - and truly very rarely encountered! - bright-golden-toned (ie. truly frosted!) so-called: 'Ehrenblattspange des Heeres' (or: army honour-roll clasp) being a very attractive, typical 'Buntmetall'- (ie. 'Tombak'-) based example as was (I deem) produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Otto Klein & Co.' that came stored in its (equally rarely found!) typical black-toned etui and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. surely issued- albeit I deem hardly or even never used- nor worn-), condition. The very attractive piece - which is nicely 'Feuervergoldet' - shows all of its (off-factory) polished sides (ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten') as to be expected - and is (naturally) of a 'two-pieced'-construction (having a solid-back swastika-device mounted into a hollow-based, oak-leave wreath - as can be seen on the pictures). The neat piece retains all its four (rounded-styled) prongs and is in all respects a fully 'text-book'-example as was (I deem) produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Otto Klein & Co.' based in the town of Hanau. The piece came together with (ie. mounted onto) its (never used- nor worn and approximately 20 cms. long-sized) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') as found (as can clearly be seen on the pictures). The piece came stored in its (equally rarely seen!) black-coloured etui (that measures 10 x 6,5 x 2,7 cms. and that has a beige-white (velvet-like) lining and that still retains in specific, carton-based inlay): the etui shows some moderate (storage) age but is overall truly nicely preserved (it does show a flaw ie. fold in its inlay but nothing shocking). This boxed piece was recently found at a German private-household: it came from a regrettably unidentified bearer who kept and stored this item for decades. Of course, do I give a life-time garuantee on its unmistaken originality (as always). Simply a superb occasion to acquire a high-class, WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS) award that is just rated in class below the Knights' Cross (ie. 'Ritterkreuz des Eisernes Kreuz'). I deem that I have priced this superb Heeres-example, accordingly!
