This is an attractive example of a: 'Kriegsverdienstmedaille 1939' (or: War Merits'-medal 1939) being a (typical) non-maker-marked- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based specimen that came together with its (truly orange-red-coloured, non-faded, 19 cms. sized and/or just minimally confectioned- ie. folded) ribbon and that comes as issued and/or recently found. The award was presumably issued but hardly (ie. never) worn nor used: it has an attractive, somewhat darker-toned, golden-bronze-coloured age-patina and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and therefore are details and/or finish still very nice and/or crisp. The piece is just a bit tarnished and stained but was never cleaned (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a neat - and fully complete! - example of a: 'Kriegsverdienstmedaille 1939' (or: War-Merits'-medal 1939) that will be very hard to be upgraded!
