Original WW2 German War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords (Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern), awarded for military merit involving frontline combat.
An earlier tombak cross with bronze-finished and the suspension ring clearly marked “39” for Förster & Barth, Pforzheim.
Issued to Wehrmacht personnel and other military auxiliaries, this version includes the correct wartime ribbon. A textbook example of this widely awarded German decoration.
