This is a truly very attractive - and I deem issued- albeit hardly used- nor worn! - example of a so-called: 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung in Bronze' (ie. being of the '3. Stufe für 10 Jahre treue Dienste') being a clearly maker- (ie. '14'-) marked- and/or so-called: 'light-weight'-example that comes together with its (somewhat shortened- ie. minimally-confectioned and/or folded ie. 14 cms.-sized-) period ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') and that comes as stored for decades. The neat - and very detailed! - medal has most certainly never been cleaned and retains most of its minimally tarnished and reddish-bronze-coloured finish: it truly has great pronounced detail (without showing any damage or alike). The award is just minimally tarnished (ie. dirty) caused by years of storage only by retains most of its (off-factory-applied!) somewhat shiny ie. typical 'Brennlaquered' finish (as can be noticed on the pictures). This piece was recently found as such at a private-household in Germany and was never in collectors'-hands. I deem that this one of the nicest such complete examples of this desirable, 'Cupal'-based 'N.S.D.A.P.-Dienstauszeichnung in Bronze' I had on offer for quite some time!
