Two-Place Medal Bar with Iron Cross 2nd Class and Eastern Front Medal. Maker Marks 100 and 88 (Lot: 576)
Starting bid: $ 575A two-place medal bar from the Third Reich period, fitted with the Iron Cross 2nd Class 1939 and the Eastern Front Medal 1941/42 (Ostmedaille). The bar features a metal back plate and neatly folded ribbons.
The suspension ring of the Iron Cross is marked “100”, identifying the maker as Rudolf Wächter, München. The ring of the Eastern Front Medal bears the mark “88”, corresponding to Gustav Brehmer, Markneukirchen.
