Beautiful 40 year Billy - thanks for posting it.
The other medal and case is a stunner - not too well versed on these, so is that the 25 year Police Service Medal - it's a beauty!!

Great looking crosses and a very informative thread.
Here's mine.
After reading your post's I believe my 25 is a Rudolf Karneth. The label is missing.

reverse.

40 by Deschler & sohn.

Reverse, sorry for the bad light.
Now all I have to do is to find myself a nice 50.

Very nice awards! The case on that 40 year is superb. The 50's are a little harder to find but they do come up occasionally.

Hope to see some more of these, so if you've got some, please share them here.

Any to add folks?

Quite the example of award and presentation case together! Cheers Edward

My little contribution,an unmarked 25 and Deschler 40 and citation for 25 medal

A nice display. Thank you.
If I translate correctly he was a carpenter/woodworker.

I feel this deserves to be pinned for awhile. Will rotate the pinned topics randomly.

This thread was an excellent collaborative effort. Thanks to all. Please continue to add any and all you may wish to share.

Here is a cased example of the 8 Year Faithful Service medal for the Police.

A nice example.

On my example the maroon lining of the case keeps shedding.

Thanks Joe,

The red flocking is firmly attached on this example. I noticed there is a 1st Class gold cross for 25 Years Police Service already posted so here is an example of the 2nd Class silver cross for 18 Years Police Service. This example is on a parade mount. Notice there is no police eagle on the 3rd Class award above, a silver eagle is on the ribbon of the 2nd Class and a gold eagle is on the ribbon of the 1st Class award.

I do appreciate the parade mounted pieces. I actually like the 18 yr. the best. But as a medal collector just have to pick up one of each.
Nice ribbon bar.

--dj--Joe

Yep, I like the fact that both blue long service ribbons are on one bar. Not often seen.

Below is a miniature version of the 8 Year Police long service award in the form of a stick pin.

The stickpin is new to me.

Thanks Orpo

You are certainly welcome Dave.

I guess I should also show a miniature of the 25 Years of Service cross so here is a minty example of that one.

Nice pins. I have observed examples in period sales catalogs.
Looked through my pins but no police examples.
Thanks for sharing.

--dj--Joe

deducting something,,,, that all the younger guys went to combat as you usually see the Police parade bars, ribbon bars, stic pin combos with WW1 medals, maybe a WestWall or Flower wars [?]..

- both Police Parade mounts shown here are very nice!

lovely boxed medals don, ive got one boxed and one with a cititaion
