Product Description: This Cased 25 Year General Service Long Service Award is a nice, representative example of this impressive and relatively scarce civil service decoration. It is made of gilded brass. The original factory applied silver finish is eye-catching and completely intact. This beautiful finish has brightly polished highlights that contrast nicely with the matte finish in the recesses. The central swastika emblem is painted black. This piece shows only light wear, with scattered small marks, and no major damage to note. All of the original detail is intact. The soldered eyelet at the top of the upper arm on this cross retains the original split style suspension ring. This handsome medal is complete with its original cornflower blue ribbon. The ribbon is clean and crisp, with a brass pin fitting hand-stitched to the top of the reverse. The award is complete with the original case of issue. The exterior of the red case does have some slight buckling to the top left side and has some seperation at the corner. Adorned on the front, in silver leaf, with the numeral “25” within a laurel wreath. Inside, the medal and ribbon rest on a red flocked insert. On the is inside of the lid is written the maker, Friedrich Keller. This 25 Year General Service Long Service Award is in Excellent Plus Condition.
