"I can also not believe that neither the LDO would have allowed such a low quality nor that S&L would have produced such a low quality item during the war. It really would be a first."
"post-war items can also be determined by the lower quality which is the case her with your Spange."
I disagree with you on these points. The quality of production fell already in 1944, and not only at S&L, but also at other manufacturers. We see examples of this at other awards. The same bloating effect, for example. This is explained by the fact that there were more important things than quality control. More and more people were called to the front and less and less qualified workers remained in the field. On the other hand, sales and production did not stop as it was necessary to replenish the budget by any means. This is in short. Therefore, you cannot say that the quality of production was at its best until the very end of the war and sharply deteriorated after the war. The process took place gradually. You cannot say with absolute certainty that everything done with low quality was done strictly after the war. I also cannot agree with your suggestion: "who would come up with the idea to collect a medal bar at the end of the war." It could have occurred to many people. For example, for a wedding, for a parade, for an imaginary victory, but you never know what. People's brains were poisoned by propaganda. I can also ask the question: Who would think of collecting a medal bar after the war? For a souvenir chtoli? This is unlikely!
Output. The discussed S&L 25 mm Spange could well have been manufactured at the end of the war. Moreover, the quality of this item is not so low already. Met and much worse. The medal bar on which it is located could also have been collected at the end of the war.
