25 Year Faithful Service Cross

Here we have a 25 Year Treudienst-Ehrenzeichen! The 25 Year Faithful Service Cross was awarded to all officials, employees, and laborers at any level of the public service (local, regional or national) who completed 25 years of service. The award is constructed out of a die struck nickel-silver base that has been silver washed and contains black enamel work. The obverse depicts a pebbled cross with an oak leaf wreath (visible to the corners) and a centrally placed black static swastika / "Fur Treue Dienste" (For Faithful Service) to the reverse. The silver wash looks great and the enamel work is 99%+! To the top is a soldered on loop and ring which holds approximately 2 inches of folded blue rayon ribbon. It measures approximately 1 5/8 inches wide and tall. A nice one for your collection!
