Re: Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2 Klasse. Version of wearing.
I do believe that is the Austrian style of mounting the medal. That is a good question about the sword device, as it may have been put on the wrong side? I do like the look of it, though.

Excellent knowledge! Yes, I bought one in Austria.
But the side is not wrong. I mentioned that it probably was worn after war, therefore the swastika was hidden.

I agree with the post above that this Kvk 2 Klasse mit Schwertern is mounted in the Austrian fashion...It appears the sword-device was added later, as it's not a part of the original award...

Re: Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2 Klasse. Version of wearing.
Thanks, gents, for discussion. I have found the original austrian medal where swords from. This is medal for courage, therefore swords on top are fantasy of previous owner or seller.
However the mark is still not clear.
