Veteran Bring Back German WWII Cased Eastern People’s Award-This is a 1st Class in Gold w/o Swords. These were awarded in two different classes (1st and 2nd) at three different levels (bronze, silver, gold) for both bravery (with swords) and service (without swords) to Russian volunteers fighting under German leadership. This example is an award for service since it does not have swords. Both the obverse and reverse have lost all of the original gold finish, with minor wear showing on the highlights. The reverse has a rugged, vertical pin which retains all of the gold finish. The maker’s mark under the pin reads “100” for the firm Rudolf Wächtler & Lange of Mittweida. The pin functions perfectly. The black pebbled leatherette case, with the gold facsimile of the award on the domed cover is in good condition with only slight wear and scuffing. Overall, an excellent example! We were able to purchase this from a US veteran. We will supply the buyer with the name of this soldier.
