NSDAP 15 year Service award.
Beautiful condition. Sorry hard to make good photos.
Perfect enamel. Silver frame is lightly patinated, could easily be removed if you want that.
Very nice silver finish.
Mint original ribbon.
With a matching case of issue marked M1/154 on the back. Case is complete but a bit dented which could be fixed if you want.
These are getting very hard to find!

HISTORY:
The NSDAP Long Service Awards were instituted in three classes on April 2ND 1939 for award to long serving party members. Requirements for bestowal consisted of an unbroken, unblemished period of time served in any of the various NSDAP Party formations. Time served between February 1925 and January 1933 during the "Kampfzeit", (Time of Struggle), counted as double in recognition of the Old Guard. The distinction of the three classes was time served with the first class awarded for twenty-five years service, fifteen years service for the second class, and ten years service for the third class.
