Good afternoon, colleagues!tell that to the original cross? Thank you.

I don't think it is the 25 year. but the 12 year version.
I am not going to say it is authentic or not because I'm not educated enough on this award, but I have a link to an original one so you can compare.
Take a good look at the SS runes and the font.

Scarce SS-Dienstauszeichnung 2.Stufe (12 Jahre) At Auction.... Thoughts?

Regards, Rik

Friends have an opinion?

I think it's original, pre-May 1945 (proviso - made out of one piece).

Original finish now gone.

I would be interested in other collectors opinions too.

VMT, Chris.

I like it.
It looks like a good original 2nd class 12 year cross to me.

It looks like the flawed T example and has the jeweller saw cut out next to the wreath that is found on accepted originals.
