two bar west Wall and OstVolk medal. I have only ever seen ONE photo of a flat, trapazoidal, imperial, enlisted-type medal bar in a Third Reich picture-and that was of an old Prussian NCO who had 4 Imperial awards -including an HKX (@1943). Do you have documentation for this bar? If so, then I'm certain that Rick L. will want it as an exceptional example for his book project on medal bars/ribbons and their wearing styles.
As the front veterans would say, here is a Kriegs-Verlängerungs-Kreuz 2. Klasse with the Kriegsverdienstmedaille. No war hero, but an interesting but small contribution.
Maker's tag on the back reads
