WWI German Principality of Reuss Merit Medal w/ Swords Cased Type II Silver

Description

Up for purchase is an original WWI German medal from the Principality of Reuss. Merit Medal, 2nd type with swords. The swords were added to the medal in 1909. This particular example has the combatants ribbon which was instituted on January 9, 1915. Ribbon appears to never have been attached to the medal. Medal is made of silver, and has not been cleaned. Case has unfortunately had the "S.M." removed from the top. I do not know why. This complete set is original and would make a great addition to any collection. I was considering keeping it for my personal collection. As with anything, pictures tell the best story, so please see them for further information about condition.
If you would like more detailed pictures of any areas, or have any questions regarding anything, please feel free to contact me.

I will ship to only the address that is on the eBay system. It is the responsibility of the buyer to keep an updated address in the eBay system, and to know their state or country's laws regarding the importation of goods.
Payment is due within four (4) days of the listings end. If there is a problem preventing you from making payment, please let me know. I am more than willing to work with you. If no payment is made within four days,
and no contact is made with me, I will open an unpaid item case.
