Original World War II War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords (KVKII), awarded for military merit not involving direct combat. This zinc-based example retains its wartime bronze finish with honest age patina and well-defined details across the arms, wreath, and central swastika.
The reverse displays the correct “1939” date in the standard wartime font. The suspension ring is unmarked, which is fully typical for a large number of period KVK2 manufacturers.
Comes complete with an original ribbon showing natural toning from age. A clean and entirely authentic example of a classic wartime German service decoration.
