WW2 German 25-Year Faithful Service Medal Full Size No Ribbon No Loop

The WW2 German 25-Year Faithful Service Medal Full Size No Ribbon No Loop is a long service decoration that was instituted by the Third Reich in 1938. This award was conferred upon civil servants and employees for twenty-five years of meritorious service to the German state. The full-size medal is struck from gilt metal and features a four-armed cross with blue enamel arms. The obverse central medallion displays the national eagle and swastika emblem encircled by a laurel wreath, while the reverse is inscribed with “Für treue Dienste” (For Faithful Service) and the number “25” to denote the length of service recognized. This specimen is offered without a suspension loop or ribbon. Such medals, when complete, would typically have been worn on the left breast suspended from a cornflower blue ribbon. The absence of the ribbon and loop is noted for collectors or researchers seeking authentic mid-20th-century German service awards in varying conditions.
