    25yr Faithful Service Medal

    Hello gentlemen. I am a novice when it comes to medals. I am a firearm collector who happened to acquire a few medals that came in a package deal with a fabulous 1936 Sauer S/147 Mauser. The other two medals that came with this one are certainly fake but I am not sure about this 25 year faithful service medal. Any opinions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello,

    It's an original 25-Year Faithful Service Decoration and an original box, maker-marked to Rudolf Wächtler & Lange.

    Best regards,
    Tom

      As Tom said: text book original. I like a lot the case with the tag

        Yep, sweet W&L set I paid €45 for my mint set so yours is worth slightly less than that.

        P.S. always interested to see the 'certainly fake' medals ... even if it's only to study more fake types.

          Looks like a fine original to me as well.

          If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

                  Here are the two fakes that came with the lot. A Luftschutz first class and a Customs long service medal.

                    Hello there!

                    Yes they are unfortunately! at least the FS25 is good!

                    I dislike the word "Rare" as its used far to often but the Luftshutz first class falls into the "Less common" category for sure and they fetch a pretty penny when they are original.

                    All the best mate,

                    Ross

                      Yes, sadly the Luftschutze I is a fake, as is the ribbon. Here's mine ..



                      (the LSII paper packet is a modern replacement for storage purposes ) Note the ribbon edge colours, the shade of 'Mauve' and it's suspension system.

                      The Customs award I'll leave others to comment on.

                      Cheers, Ian.
