Looks good to me too. Not sure what's going on with the ribbon mount though. Surely the hook and medal loop should be hidden beneath the ribbon but I can't see where it would tuck in?

Hello there,
A tough one. At first glance I like it. I would like to see the hinge setup on the reverse hardware. While it is most likely authentic (and it would be easy to swap a medal on/off the bar fake or original) it does not have a traditional mounting pin on the reverse.

I would guess at this one being a Petz & Lorenz.

Re: SS-Dienstauszeichnung 4.Stufe (4 Jahre).
Apologies, I was getting my features and makers the wrong way round.
The medal above I believe to be made by DESCHLER not Petz & Lorenz. There were only the two makers.
Deschler crosses have finer stippling compared to P&L and different suspension rings. You will note the medal above has a suspension ring that is tapered to a point as you look at it, there is a clear ridge extending around the circumference of the ring /\ like so. This is a feature of a Deschler made medal. P&L rings are not as squat and don't have the distinct bevelled point. The stippling is also coarser.

Re: SS-Dienstauszeichnung 4.Stufe (4 Jahre).
Which are the differences between the 2 makers, Deschler and Petz und Lorenz?
