1939 Spange zum Eisernen Kreuzes 2er Klasse 1914, Unmarked Otto Schickle, Buntmetal
A recent addition to my spange collection.
These are normally found with the L/15 stamped between the lower mounting prongs. I have checked and this one has no markings.
I will not remove the ribbon for photos.
Not sure what the bright spot in the swastika is but it is not visible with the naked eye.

The patina is outstanding ...which highlights the wing feathering. The wreath detail is excellent
Regards Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

The buntmetal ones develop nicer patina than the zinc ones.

Just my thoughts....but I feel zinc just doesnt provide the same attraction as buntmetal and Nickel....... Personal preference...I know very little about these medals and awards ...but know the difference in the metal content seeing the same used on some Edged Weapon fittings.
I think its why these awards will always retain their beauty and desire for the collector and also outlast in lustre compared to the latter materials.
Excellent Spange addition to your collection Ralph Congrats
Best Larry

Very nice spange. I echo Larry's thoughts about the patina. It really makes the details
stand out.
Your bright spot may be a piece of dust on the camera lens.

myself around.
Thanks Greg!
I don't think it is dust, I will inspect the spange with a loupe in the near future and post it here.
