Yes, the 50 year medal is silver with a gilt wreath. Plus "50" on it of course.
Had good advice? Saved money? Why not become a Gold Club Member, just hit the green "Join WRF Club" tab at the top of the page and help support the forum!
Also, do allow me to remark that only the 25 & 40 year crosses were for the public sector / civil service, whereas the 50 year cross was for 50 years of employment with a single private sector employer.
a very nice Dienst kreuz.
