Title VK2 with swords
Nationality German
Period 1939-45
Sold

Late example in zinc, maker marked (illegible) with short length of original ribbon. This was the basic gallantry award for front line service and anti-partisan combat personnel. This ranks under the Iron Cross, 2nd class, and some 6,500,000 were awarded. (The original bronze finish has been absorbed by the zinc - as you can see!)

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)

I received the sword and belt this afternoon. Always a bit of a risk buying this sort of thing online but I'm very pleased with the quality of the sword and scabbard...
