NSDAP 10 Year Long Service Award

Product Description:  An original NSDAP 10 Year Long Service Award, preserved in excellent condition and retaining sharp detail together with an attractive, even patina acquired through age and careful handling. The suspension ring is clearly marked with the maker code “10” for Förster & Barth of Pforzheim, a desirable and well-regarded manufacturer.

The NSDAP 10 Year Long Service Award is accompanied by its original brown ribbon measuring approximately 8 inches in length, exhibiting only minor fraying at the ends consistent with age and period wear. The construction remains entirely intact, presenting as a fine and honest example of this political long service decoration, well suited for inclusion in an advanced collection of Third Reich awards and insignia.

Historical Description:In Germany, during and between the World Wars, stickpins were generally made for wear on civilian clothing, by either men or women. Whereas most civil and military awards intended for uniform wear were in the form of medals or pin-on badges, the simple stickpins were mostly for adorning lapels of suits. A huge variety of these stickpins were produced. There were pins that anyone could buy, that were patriotic or showed support for some specific cause. There were also various membership pins for military, paramilitary, civil and political organizations. Military and civil awards were also produced in stickpin versions. These took the form of miniature versions of the awards, and could either show one individual award, or all the awards that one individual had received. In many cases, German stickpins were made with the same standard of quality as the full-size medals and badges.
