Very nice example Glenn. The condition is lovely other than the small scratches on the side, congratulations sir.

Thank you!

Actually, looking at Ned's example above i'd wager the ribbon is in fact 35mm wide as it appears to be around the same width as the diameter of the medal itself which is 35mm. Is this in your collection Ned?

[all1knew]

I suppose I could buy a cheapy Treue Dienst Ehrenzeichen (25 Jahre) and pinch the 35mm ribbon off that. At least its a cheap way to gain an extra 5mm of width. (I've never seen a 50mm cornflower blue ribbon for sale so maybe a 35mm will have to make do?)

for representation purposes that would be just fine. The medal is just beautiful btw.

Thank you William, it does look good with my 8 year I have to say!

[Wagriff]

Here is my weary example of an 8 year, in case you're interested. It has no case and has traveled the World, but it's textbook good. (It's also in the Classifieds! )

[Glenn66]

Nice example William, a shame you are selling it. I don't think it's a P&L?

[Wagriff]

From what I've always figured, it's what they used to think was a Deschler made piece, but of late, that opinion has been changing and now the talk is that they were make by Schickle. Now they seem to be designating them "Type 1" or "Type 2" etc. Give it a few months and they'll be changing their minds again, I suppose! All I know is it's a Vet bring back piece and textbook original...Medical bills do call, however, so I've decided to sell a few small bits and bobs just to keep the co-pays paid...lol

JT, is the ribbon on the 8 year 35mm wide?
