Treuedienst-Ehrenzeichen & Police Long service cross

[plumbob]

The edges on mine appear to be different on both cross’s but seem to be equal on all arms for there own cross.
The leaves on mine seem fine . Its just the pebbling/thickness/steel ring/ribbon. I will post them soon so look out for them.
I’ve got macro on my camera and I put it to the picture of the flower but the pictures just aren’t clear enough . hope to get one this week.
Its amazing that even medals of this value and that are as common as these are copied.
Where does it stop!

I just about question every think I’ve got
Happy new year
Rod

The 25 year cross is a bit of a puzzler. The finish is the only thing that looks dodgy with ther exception perhaps of the suspension ring. The enamelling on the swastika looks good, most fakes are very obvious looking at this and because this is a low value award it is sometimes painted on. It's not the miniest and best looking example but it stands a chance IMO.

cheers adrian yes the finish is worst for me its smooth and all over the cross, well ill hang on to it i have another example anyway so wont loose any sleep. and rod you should try to take pics with your camera in a stable position with your medals infront of it then you cancel out any shaking caused by your hands ill look out for yours

cheers rory
