Who can help me?

Hello to all,

I always thought that the medal from my collection (number 1) was a 25 years loyal service medal (treue dienst) I also always see him in the same box with a 25 on it.

Recently I saw the (real) 25 years of loyal service badge . (number 2)

I don't understand it!
Doesn't number 1 belonge to the box and paper?

Who can help me?

greetings from Holland,

Number 2

[Christian L]

the one in pic one is loyal service for the government (all the government workers could get it)
and the one in number two is an army long service cross (only army and kriegsmarine members could get it with this eagle - the luftwaffe eagle looks different, but the cross itself is the same).
so no i hope its clearer to understand.
