German Eagle Order Merit Medal w/Swords - Opinions needed

[kpaintner]

I posted this in the Political Organizations section and did get any feed back. I picked this up recently. Need to get opinions as to whether or not it is good. And where I can find a ribbon. The ring has no stamps and the edges are clean.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Usually this was made of silver, and it has the silver hallmarks, so judge yourself...

So you are saying this was only issued in silver? I have found a couple of posts that show examples with swords that are in bronze.

From the poor photos, it looks like a nice original award in bronze.

It is a German Eagle Order 100% original. 1943-1945 regulations

Usually are marked with the mark of 30 in the ring manufacturer, although there are cases that do not have maker mark

If it's the bronze version, I can provide you a original ribbon with needle in very good condition

That ribbon would make an excellent match. You are a very nice person to offer it...

Thanks everyone for the comments. Marisca Irommel, I have sent you a PM and will take you up on your offer for the ribbon. Just let me know how much.

Thanks again!
Kevin
