    Polizei (Police) 25 Year Service Medal

    Calling all polizei pundits. I recently acquired this medal from a very reliable source. After comparing to other pics, I do have a couple of questions to run by everyone.

    1) Notice at the bottom of the ribbon where the outer wreath meets the swastika wreath. On other ribbons I have seen, the outer wreath merges into the swastika very smoothly and tightly. Here, the outer wreath just sort of dead-ends at the bottom.

    2) On the reverse, notice that the right dot in the umlaut in "fur" is slightly higher than the left dot. I have seen this exact pattern on other medals, but some are perfectly level.

    Are these known variations?

    There is another thread from a few weeks ago that has other pictures of this type of medal: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ght=police+nod


    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Hi Chuck, nothing to worry about with this one of your's.. Most of the police medals i've seen have the slightly higher dot above the 'U'... The differences on the ribbon is likely due to how the embroidery machines were set up, not forgetting that there a few makers of these particular medals, so variatons will occur..

    Here are a few examples of these medals, for comparison..

    Hope this helps....

          Thanks much!

          By the way, I am looking for an NSDAP 15 year service medal. If anyone has one to sell, PM me.
