Hello,
Lets see some NSDAP long service awards out here. What if any are the minor or major differnces in mfg, also what should we look for when buying the upper grades to look for as to being fake.

Here's a fat bronze one, with a few of his little brothers. 4 different sizes in all. No mark on the rings.
Seldom seen 12mm uniface minis, probably for use on a chain or more likely stickpin, but bigger than the standard 8mm stickpin crosses above.
Incredible detail to these little guys. Backs marked RZM M11/1.
Attempt at a close up of the 15 yr.

Great examples! I think these awards are often overlooked by many as is most civilian awards in general. What is the gold with white enamel award? 40 year?

fritzii, it's 25 yrs! Regards, Leipzig
Here's my 15 year front, minis and close-up of the ring #2.
Let's keep this one going.
To the top for Rod.

Joe. My 15 year NSDAP medal is coming from New Zealand so it will take awhile for it to get here then I will post some pictures of it.

These are the pictures of the medal that the seller sent me.

Impossible to tell from the photos - but my Spidey sense is tingling...
I don't like the apparent tarnish, especially in the eagle, and the points of the smaller rays between the arms don't look "pointy" enough. A common flaw in fakes is that they are not very sharp.
Stephen. Thanks for opinions on this medal. It is hard to see much detail from the small pictures. Once the medal arrives I will post some good close up pictures of it. The first things I will check is the tarnish and the points on the smaller rays.

I was using the wrong codes for mine. 14 is Gebruder Jager Gablonz. M11/14. Sorry for any confusion.
