    Wehrmacht LS Medal by Paulmann & Crone

    Hello guys,

    I think we can add another name to the list of makers of Wehrmacht Long Service Decorations. This weekend I was fortunate to stumble onto this packeted Wehrmacht LS Medal. I have never seen this type of glassine packet before. Near the top it has the letters 'PuC' within a black diamond. This is almost certainly a logo used by the Lüdenscheid firm of Paulmann & Crone. Inside the packet is a mint piece of original long service ribbon, a mint gold eagle device, and a mint long service medal. The only discrepancy is that the medal is a 4-Year LS (IV. Class Silver Medal) while the packet is actually for a 12-Year (III. Class Gold Medal). So whether this medal is actually a Paulmann & Crone-made 4-Year, mistakenly placed in in the wrong packet at the factory, or a mix up by a previous owner/collector I can't say. But we can certainly add this maker to the list as the packet is indisputable.

    Best regards,
    Tom

        The ribbon eagle is correct for a 12-Year Medal (gold in color). This example is made of iron (magnetic).

            The mismatched Long Service Medal (IV. Class instead of III. Class)

            This medal is also iron (magnetic). It is so shiny that it was hard to get good pictures of it.

                      Congrats, Tom. I really like these packeted examples.

                      They are so hard to find since the envelope often crumble into millions of pieces.

                        Hi Gary,

                        I know what you mean. These packets are so delicate that I hate to even touch them. I hope it doesn't crumple into a million pieces while in my charge.

                        Best regards,
                        Tom
