Original German WWII 2nd Class 25 Year Civil Service Faithful Service Medal in Case by Franz Reischauer Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice German WWII 2nd Class Civil Service Faithful Service medal in Silver, for 25 years of service. It comes complete with its original ribbon pin inside the original presentation case, marked on the inside with a label reading Gold- u. Silber- Scheideanstalt Oberstein – Franz Reischauer (Gold & Silver Refinery Oberstein – Franz Reischauer).

The medal is in very good condition, with just a bit of staining and wear to the medal itself, and some tarnishing on the hanger ring. The pin on the ribbon is unfinished brass, and has a lovely mellow patina. The original case is also in great shape, with the correct 25 inside a “pointed circle”. The box does have wear present on the edges and corners, but is otherwise completely sound.

A wonderful medal set, ready to display!
