Very impressive. It's thought that the 25 yr medal may have been possibly given to the next of kin of the martyrs of the movement.

Good information; thanks Erich. Since the three grades of NSDAP Long Service Awards came into being in April of 1939, which was at least four years after the RZM system was fully operational, I have to wonder why these awards were excluded from providing the full license number on each piece, and instead showed only the firm's individual code on the ring? (Of course, I also still wonder why the GPB was excluded from carrying the manufacturers' RZM codes -- M1/52 and M11/10 for Deschler & Sohn and M1/95 for Josef Fuess?)

Frohe Weihnachten,

Authorized in 1939, but the silver and bronze not awarded until the following year and the gold awarded in 1942. Now you wonder if they were produced and sat on a shelf or were produced later.
