Interesting, 'Orden- o. Doppelspange' depicting a: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz ohne Schwn.') and a: 'WH KM o. Heeres Dienstauszeichnung für 4 Jahre t.D.'

This is an attractive - and in this uncommonly found combination not that often seen! - two-pieced (and typical non-detachable) medal-bar (ie. 'Doppelspange') respectively depicting a WWI-period: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz ohne Schwertern') and a neatly silvered: WH (Heeres o. Kriegsmarine) Dienstauszeichnung für 4 Jahre Treue Dienste' (or: army- ie. naval loyal-service medal for four years of loyal service) that comes with a detailed, silver-coloured eagle-device firmly attached both pieces coming in an overall nice- (albeit minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. Both awards are truly bronze- (ie. darkened golden) and/or silver-coloured and 'fairly frosted' examples that are just minimally tarnished by age and/or moderate usage and wear (as can be seen on the pictures) but are both void of any damage or alike. Both pieces come naturally mounted on their period ribbons and have a nicely preserved age-patina and are just a tiny bit dirty: they were (I deem) never cleaned nor polished (as can be seen on the pictures). The entire 'Spange' is not 'backed' with a piece of wool but comes mounted onto a chromed-steel-based 'backing-plate' that shows a (regular-type- and functional) pin- ie. catch-set-up (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' is a clearly maker- (ie. 'G.&S.'-) marked example (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply an attractive example of a two-pieced WW1- (ie. TR-) related 'Ordenspange' in an uncommonly found combination that is I deem accordingly priced!
