Spanish Commemorative Medal for Russian Service in hollow relief. This strike, unlike the flat German made medal, from my experience, is very scarce. The black enamel of the Iron Cross is intact, and the ribbon, having the national colors of Spain and Germany at either edge, is without issue. At the top is a pin-back gold metal rectangular frame. Obverse has some slight darkening to the eagle, and the reverse has darkening to the high relief chain and Kremlin towers and their background. High Good

WW I Fighting Knife with etched "Weihnachten 1916 II. Batl. Inf. Regt. 147." Blade was very dark and prior to cleaning the etching was obscured. With cleaning, the etching is now mostly visible. Blade has one nick near the cross guard. Scabbard paint 90% and leather attaching loop is missing except for a small piece attached to scabbard. Good.
