“Tapferkeits und Verdienstauszeichnung für Ostvölker” 1th class with swords in “Gold” in case
The gold plating is almost gone which is normal for original late war zink based medals. Overal medal and case are in used but good condition.

Medal for Gallantry and Merit for Members of the Eastern Peoples (German: Tapferkeits und Verdienstauszeichnung für Ostvölker) was a military and paramilitary award of Nazi Germany. Established on 14 July 1942, it was bestowed on personnel from the former Soviet Union (Ostvolk in German, literally "Eastern people”), who volunteered to fight alongside German forces. The Medal is sometimes called the Ostvolk Medal or Eastern People's Medal, German Ostvolkmedaille

Great for a medal collection!
