Hi Rob, sorry, but that blue enamel does not look correct? That just looks like paint?

Try a pic taken in natural daylight.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi guys,definatly enamel not paint just the quality of the photos,when i'm off work tomorrow i will get some more photo's done in daylight with no flash from camera.This has come from an old collection

Thanks for the additional pics Rob. Sorry to be a pain but can you take any in natural light please?
I must admit to knowing little about the NSDAP awards but the ribbon ring looks quite small compared to the other awards and the overall quality seems to be lacking in my eyes. Does the medal look like it's always been there? Is it sewn in the same manner as the other medals? Can anyone else post an example/s of the 15 Year medal to compare to please?
I'm not keen on it from the pics so far but am very happy to stand corrected!
Also, look on the reverse, the central wreath is off centre. I've attached a pic below so you can see what I mean. The line runs through the ribbon at the bottom and through the point the oakleaves meet at the top........
