NSDAP 15-Year Long Service Cross

[Tom Yanacek]

Hi guys,

Here is a nice NSDAP 15-Year Long Service Cross that I got yesterday at a pawn shop. The silvering is still pretty bright and the enameling is perfect and undamaged. These have always been one of my favorite medals of the Third Reich Era. Prussian blue and silver go so well together.

Best regards,
Tom

The cross also came with this stickpin miniature made by Steinhauer & Lück. It is marked RZM M11/1.

Agree; always thought that was one of the most attractive decorations, stands out in a display or on a medal bar. Very nice!

One from the 2019 SOS:

Here is an NSDAP 15-Year Long Service Cross by B.H.Mayer of Pforzheim. I got this one over the weekend at the SOS.

Very nice NSDAP 15 cross Tom! I have the same: the lump on the back of the head and the beard under the beak dont necessarily make it the nicest version you will find but these traits are typical for this variant!

Hi JC,

Thank you for the comments. Yes! That eagle head makes it easily identifiable as a B.H. Mayer, Pforzheim. Is your example marked '2' on the suspension ring?
