Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice German WWII 2nd Class Civil Service Faithful Service medal in Silver, for 25 years of service. It comes complete with its original ribbon pin inside the original presentation case. There is no maker marking on the case or the ring of the award, but this is typical for most awards, which often only had a paper label.

The medal is in very good condition, with just a bit of staining and wear to the medal itself, and some tarnishing on the hanger ring. The pin on the ribbon is unfinished brass, and has a lovely mellow patina. The original case is in good shape, with the correct 25 inside a “pointed circle”. The box does have wear present on the edges and corners, and the top two corners of the inner portion are split. There is also a small piece missing from the lid, which is now inside the case.

A wonderful medal set, ready to display!
