SS 4 year service medal

I belive this medal is original, but there are some very good copies out there so I would like your opinion and if possible the maker.

I have search the WAF and could not find anything wrong with this. Perhaps the rim is a bit uneven.

Everything looks fine & original to me.
I have no idea who made the medal and although the vast majority of the collecting community believes that this type was made by the firm of 'Petz & Lorenz' of Unterreichenbach...I have not seen any evidence to support this.

All looks good to me too

Agreed, it's the so called P&L type.

Is it normal that the outer rim to be so uneven. It is tinner at the top than the bottom.

Looks OK to me!

Can we please see some close ups of your SS Long service awards? Is the owner of the awards in that big case known to you?

They all came from different sources and alas, the two gold ones are copies.
