Hi all
Recently I paid a trip to a newly opened collectors emporium and found a cabinet of Third Reich militaria.There was a case containing 3 SS service medals.On examining the 12 year the wreathed swastika seemed to be stuck onto the cross with superglue**???!!Would I be right in thinking this award was die struck in one piece and not multi piece?The ribbon had rather thick SS runes and the loop was not tear drop.I understand very early versions of this award did have a round loop and not a tear drop suspender but they are very rare.
The 8 year and 4 year medals looked perfect but this one looked well dodgy.
Please can you give me some opinions on this cross.Sorry I havn't got a picture but I will try and get one.
regards
Mac
