An interesting and difficult to acquire Russian Front and Anti-partisan holder's 1957 awards and honour chain/bar or in this case suspended from a sword, in excellent condition, chain has the Iron Cross, 40 year Faithful Service Cross, WW1 Cross of Honour, Russian Front medal, Anti-partisan badge in silver, General Assault badge in silver and silver wound badge, a very nice set with an interesting combination of awards for an older veteran with WW1 service. The combination of the 40 year Faithful Service and the combat awards especially the Anti-partisan badge suggest a 'Race and Resettlement' connection. Chains were popular with WW2 veterans and those that continued into the post war German armed forces. A very sought after item that is hardly found outside of Germany.
