Item Description

Original Item: Only One Set Available. This is a very nice set of two cased German WWII Civil Service Faithful Service medals, the 2nd class 25 year award in Silver, and the 1st Class 40 year award in Gold.

The original case has some wear and splitting, but still is mostly intact, and has the correct 25 inside a circle on the lid.

The 1st Class award was made by Deschler & Sohn of München (Munich), and is in a lovely locking presentation case, which is maker marked on the Satin lid lining. The bottom of the case is lined in very nice velvet. The medal is in excellent condition, with almost no wear or damage to the medal itself, and no oxidation. The original case is also in great shape, with the correct 40 inside a laurel wreath on the top. The hing and lock are fully functional, and the inside has minimal deterioration to the satin top and velvet bottom. There is just a bit of fraying on the white fabric covering the hinge interior.

A wonderful medal set, ready to display!
