The attractive - I deem moderately used and with certainty not that often- ie. actually scarcely found! - RAD-loyal-service-award (ie. 'Dienstauszeichnung 3. Stufe für Männer') is of the typical 'light-weight'- (ie. aluminium-based) version and retains pronounced details and has a great ie. only minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina: it retains a fair bit of its fairly 'glossy'- and/or: typical (shiny) silver-toned and 'frosted' finish and has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished (it still retains also a fair ammount of its 'off-factory' polished sides ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten' as can be seen on the pictures). The piece came mounted onto its full-length piece (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') of cornflower-blue coloured ribbon (which is neatly pre-folded but that is a tiny bit stained and that shows some glue- ie. felt-remains on its back). Simply an attractive example of this: 'RAD-Dienstauszeichnung 3. Stufe für Männer' that is most certainly accordingly priced!
