Within the past week I received this 8 Year Service
Medal in the mail. Seems they may be more
scarce than the crosses - certainly cost me
as much - but it's all good. Too bad it's
missing it's box.........

Very nice polizie medal !
/best regards Mike
sorry fellows I don't like it,the reasons,the rim of the medal is uneven there's no stipples in the wreath round the swastika,and lots of pitting all over it.
Thanks for the comments guys. Perhaps I shouldn't
have taken the pic under a bright lamp, as there
is a lot of glare.
Nice collection of medals Glenn.........!

Hello,
So far I like the medal. A lot depends on the angle, lighting, etc. That is why when I do not take photos of my medals and badges, but I scan them (I use an old EPSON Perfection 4490 Photo scanner-no longer being made). These old scanners are gems and the new scanners only give you a sharp focus of the high points and the rest is blurry.
BTW, I love Police long service awards, but a s a rule of thumb I never collect medals as singles but only on medal bars. Or they have to be parade mounted (just a collectors choice). Nice medals Glenn.
Regards,
Jody
These are my Police medals (I only collect Police medal bars in which the eagle is embroidered directly on the ribbon and not attached as a separate piece) and I used my scanner to take the images.
A nice looking addition to your collection ! the only version of this series of the 57er medals I am missing.........not that easy to find !
Prost ! Steve.
Trio...
Regards,
Steve.
