12year SS medal

[BobI]

Hi Guys!
I doubt this bar is right since the ribbon is not what you need on a 12 year medal bar but, is the 12 year medal original?
Thank You!

Hi Bob,

Looks like an original medal bar that someone went and messed with. Probably had a Prussian 9, 12, or 15 year long service removed and the SS 12-Year LS stuck in its place.

Best regards,
Tom

Ss long service medal 12 year

What do you make of this, I came across a 12 year long service medal in a shop in Saudi Arabia but it did not have a loop at the top instead it had a clasp in the back center of the medal.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Doesn't sound promising in the least. Probably a cheap fake as these never had a pin clasp on the reverse.

Best regards,
