Cased Eastern Peoples Award 1st Class with Swords in Silver (Verdienstauszeichnung für Angehörige der Ostvölker, 1. Klasse in Silber mit Schwertern). This series of awards was instituted on 14 July 1942 to recognize the contribution of volunteers from the Eastern European countries to Germany's war effort. The zinc type medal just shows some minor wear and great detail overall, it still retains mostof its original silver finish. The medal is complete with a functional pin and catch. The medal is not visibl maker marked. The badge comes in its original black coloured box having a neat imprinted silver logo of the badge on top of the box. The box is showing some normal small damages and usage on the corners and is in overall good used condition. Nice original cased badge in good condition!
