This is an original WWII German Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern (War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords), awarded for acts of merit under combat conditions.
 
The cross remains in good condition, retaining crisp details and showing only minor signs of age.
It comes with its original ribbon, which is of standard length but shows visible signs of wear and damage – adding to its authenticity and character.
