Original WWII German Clasp To The Iron Cross 2nd Class Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified. On September 1ST 1939 Hitler once more reinstituted the Iron Cross series of awards in the First and Second Classes and established the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross and two new Spangen, (Bars), for the first and second class awards to be bestowed to recipients of the 1939 Iron Cross who had also been awarded a first or second class 1914 Iron Cross during WWI. Originally the first pattern of this award had slightly scalloped tips to the ends of the date bar which was soon replaced with the second pattern award with diagonally angled ends. Recipients of an Iron Cross Bar were permitted, with the proper documentation, to privately purchase a jeweler’s copy of the award, at their own expense, if so desired. Due to the prestige of the award personnel who could afford it would opt to buy a jeweler’s copy for everyday wear with the actual award being put away for safe keeping. Nicely detailed, second pattern, die struck alloy construction award with a polished nickel/silver plated finish. The award is in the form of a national eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an oak-leaf wreath which encompasses a canted swastika above a horizontal, trapezoidal, date bar with diagonally angled ends, and embossed institution date, "1939". The award shows nice detailing including feathering to the eagles wings and a subtly textured background field to the swastika and the date bar.

SOLD Original WWII German Cased COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL OF 1ST OCTOBER 1938 With Prague Castle Bar Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified. The Commemorative Medal of 1ST October 1938 was the second of the "Anschluss", (Union/Annexation), medal series and was introduced on October 18TH 1938, for award to civilians and military personnel who participated in the "return" of the Sudetenland to Germany. The award followed the same design as the earlier, "13TH März" medal, that commemorated the annexation of Austria into Greater Germany. The Sudetenland, with over three million German inhabitants, was a section of Bohemia that had been awarded to Czechoslovakia in 1919 by the treaty of Saint Germain en Laye signed between Austria and the allies at the end of WWI. Hitler claimed that the Germanic Sudetens were being persecuted by the Czech’s as the main premise for the annexation of the area into greater Germany. Hitler also contended that the Sudentenland would be his final territorial claim in Europe. At a meeting in Munich on September 29TH 1938 between Britain’s Chamberlain, France’s Daladier, Italy’s Mussolini and Hitler, without Czechoslovakian input, it was decided that the Sudentenland would be "returned" to Germany and German troops marched into the region on October 1ST 1938. Roughly, 32mm diameter, bronze washed, die struck alloy construction medal. The obverse of the medal features two embossed figures, symbolically breaking the chains of bondage with an unfurled national flag in the background and a high relief, national eagle to the bottom. The reverse features embossed Latin script to the center,"1 Oktober 1938", encompassed by additional script, "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer". (One People, One State, One Leader). The bronze wash is retained about 98%. The ribbon suspension ring and medal loop are both intact and the award comes complete with a roughly, 35mm wide, 9cm long, piece of original ribbed, rayon ribbon with a horizontal, brass pin back device handstitched to the reverse top edge. The medal has no visible manufacturer’s markings. Included with the medal is a roughly, 31mm wide, 11mm tall, bronze washed, stamped alloy construction, Prague Castle bar cypher. The Prague Castle bar features an embossed likeness of the Prague Castle on a slightly recessed field with a raised outer edge lip. The Castle bar is secured to the ribbon by two, bent over, soldered attachment prongs on the reverse. The Castle bar has no visible manufacturer’s markings. The medal comes housed in an original roughly, 10cm x 5cm x 2cm wooden construction issue case with a simulated, grained red leather covering. The case has a fold back top lid with a staggered, magnetic bar hinge to the reverse and a spring activated, magnetic push button locking clip to the obverse.
