    Opinions requested on two SS service medals

    A friend who is experiencing financial difficulties is selling off his collection.

    Among his items are two SS medals.

    He sent me these pictures which I am posting here. I know they do not show extreme detail, but perhaps they do show enough to warrant my requesting them for further photos or passing on them altogether.

    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    By the way, if this is not the proper forum area, please let me know.

    Best wishes to all!

    William

        Hello William,

        I do not have much experience with SS Long Service Awards, but both of these medals posted are reproductions in my opinion. I would pass on both of them. The detail is lacking, and both appear mishapen. I do not like the suspension eyelets. The clasp pin on the 12 Year is not correct, and the ribbon lacks the embroidered SS Sigrunen.
        Best regards! Tom

          Hi William, I would agree with Tom on the points he has raised. I would say both are repros.


          Cheers, Ade.

              Wow! Both repros!

              Thank you so much to all. You have saved me considerable $$$ and heartache once again!

              Although I hate to break the news to my friend, I am very glad I did not buy these first!

              Good collecting and God bless,

              William
