12 Year SS Service Medal
Re: 12 Year SS Service Medal
Based on what I'm seeing....most likey a reproduction. The details of the wreath, runes, and lettering are all "soft" compared to referanced originals....there appear to be casting lines evident on the inside arms of the swastika, and the ribbon & embroidered runes are questionable at first glance.... that said, I've never owned an original and have only seen/handled a couple originals in the flesh (long ago)... see what others have to say...

I don't like the sloppy runes on that ribbon either.

I agree, it didn't look right as soon as the photo came up.
