Title Military Merit Cross, with swords, 1939
Nationality German
Period 1939-45
Sold

This was the medal for gallantry awards deemed not to merit the award of the Iron Cross, 2nd class. This example is a nice early war bronze piece with the bulk of its original lacquer finish intact and its original packet of issue marked 'Gebr. Bender // Oberstein/Rahe'. Typically, these were often given for partisan actions in Poland and Russia.

The condition is excellent and it has a nice piece of clean original ribbon.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.

The iron cross you sent me came on Saturday morning. Very pleased with the medal.
