50 True Dienst / Pics in use?

[Gdeutschland39]

Needed this one to complete the whole True Dienst. I have seen only one before in such condition. The previous one I hesitated, this one I pounced on it.

That said, Id appreciate if any of you guys have pics of the medal in use and post them here.

Hope you enjoy.

A great looking medal!

I think you will be hard pressed to find a photograph of these in use. It is hard enough to find the 25/40 medals in photographs and they were likely issued 10x more regularly. I think a lot more of these 50s were manufactured than actually presented to owners...

Nice looking medal glad i got mine set also complete. Im still looking for the 16mm miniature for the 50 years service.

But i have a picture with this award in wear only the first i ever seen hard to find picture for sure.

Thanks for the comments and pics. As Josh, I wondered if these were actually awarded. Nevertheless, I figure with the condition in which most are found it made me believe that was the case. If you allow it eraser, I would like to copy the pic and print it in a cardboard to add to the display.

You guys wont believe this, but this search of the pic came as a result of a question my girlfriend made. I told her I had purchased this one, and she started asking all these questions that I've never thought about. Got to love the girl. She actually follows my collection interest.

Now eraser has thrown another wrench . I have the ribbon bars for the 25 and 40, and now I wonder if there is one for the 50. Dang it, the hunt never ends.

Not 50 years for the party these medals 25,40 and 50 are for civil service. Same like these days when you work 25,40 or even 50 years for the same boss. Nothing to do with the party itself.

@Alex: Im still looking for the document myself hard to find for sure last time i saw one for sale i was too late

I think they are out there but are hard to find. I have the three button device for these so why should the bar not exist.

Here the three button hole versions.
