this is an nsdap (nazi party) long service cross in bronze, for 10 years service, yours is also in a nice ldo box, which means it s probably a privately purchased medal! it looks really nice!!

I am not an expert on this one, but as knockoffnigel said, it is an award for a member of the NSDAP (Nazi Party) for 10 years service (Membership) So thats who it is awarded to, and the occasion would be 10 years "membership" and loyalty. Thats what you have hereComment

forgot to add, that the womens award could also be found as a brooch with a revised suspension. either way i think we can assume your medal is for a man!!sigpic 57ers...."The Devil Is In The Detail"Comment
