Kriegsverdienstkreuz without swords

[Steelhead10]

Hi all,

Picked up this sorry example of a Kriegsverdienstkreuz from a box marked "badges £5 each". I seem to have a habit of rescuing medals in a sorry state at the moment.

Not maker marked due to being broken but wasn't going to argue on the price. It does look to have been repaired before breaking again at some point.

Appears to have some zinc pest on the "9" which I'll apply some ren. Wax to once I get home.

Snapped some quick pictures in the car before heading on to my next stop.

Some photos in my usual spot, picked out because it gets the best light in my house

I think I would've left it in the box and used the fiver on a pint.

It is what it is and it was priced accordingly so fair play to you for rescuing it from the box.
