8 Year SS Service Medal, Opinions?

[Burkhard45]

Hello everyone,
Im not very familiar with these medals, so I am looking for opinions on originality. A friend of mine has 10 of these that came in a box from the same person along with some other original medals (KVKII, KVKI, MK, some coins, etc), so I am leaning that these are original. But again, I do not know much about these. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Hayden

I apologize for the rotated pictures, I'm not very tech savvy despite being in college and I don't know how to rotate them. Ive got pictures of the box, and ribbon that comes with the medals, but for some reason they are not loading. :banged:

Any opinions welcome! I can try and upload more pictures if these look promising at all.

Pictures are not great but it appears to be an original 8 year...

Images rotated for Hayden...if there were 10 in the box and they're correct then that was a nice haul!

Better pictures would help... but I am not liking what I can see. I would say a reproduction IMHO.

It's a genuine medal if he has 10 then he did elk!

Thanks everyone. I will try to get better pictures. Like I said, based on the other authentic medals in the box, my assumption is that these are all good too. Either 8 or 10 with the box (never suspended from ribbon), 2 without box, KVKI, a few KVKII, silver MK, some WWII era coins, etc

Hello. Nice specimen of a type 1 SS - Dienstauszeichnungen 8 years, I have a type 2 and it seems that clearly differs from type 1, which is yours, by the thickness of something less than the fringe of oak leaves that surround the runes Siegel. Among other niceties. Authentic without a doubt.
