Hi,
are they have chance to be original? Looks like Souval for me. Both are 3 pc construction. The white enamel covered with some kind of lacquer.
Thanks in advance ,
Andrei

Hi Andrei, You and Nick are both right, these are both classic examples of the Post War Repro Souval long service crosses, Best Regards, Michael

[Ron Weinand]

Sorry, not originals

[der-hase-fee]

Quite easily being spotted as fakes.

[Wim Vangossum]

Original eagles are somtimes not that very nice but these are much worse.

Souval did make both grades wartime, the 25 year is VERY rare in original form and also has a very distinctive ribbon with a dark band in the red weave. Here is a wartime Souval 25 year cross

Nice

Though Andrei's are Post-War, I like your Textbook Rudy Souval Wartime 25 yr NSDAP long service Patrick. With his standard features of a small-headed eagle, thick like reverse lettering and shorter Serifs. Congrats Patrick on a Keeper.

Hi Patrick W,
Great to see an original war time Souval 25 Year NSDAP medal, sometimes stamped 30 on the ring, nice to see it also has the distinctive die flaw at the top of the left wing that it should have and original ribbon, thanks for posting, beautiful medal with a ton of character,
Best Regards,
Michael
