2-pieced, N.S.D.A.P.- and/or: 'Polizei'-related) medal-bar (ie. 'Spange') showing resp. a: 'N.S.D.A.P.-D.A. in Silber' (ie. '2. Stf. für 15 Jahre t.D.') and 'Pol.-Dienstauszeichnung 1. Stf.' that both come period-mounted as a: 'Doppelspange'
This is a very attractive - just moderately used- and/or worn and in this particular combination scarcely found! - example of a two-pieced (and nicely detachable!) medal-bar (ie. 'Orden- o. Doppelspange') showing respectively a nicely enamelled: 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung in Silber' (ie. being of the '2. Stufe für 15 Jahre treue Dienste') being a non-maker-marked example (as always) and a: 'Polizei-Dienstauszeichnung 1. Stufe' (or: police loyal-service medal first class as was awarded for 25 years of loyal service within the various TR-era police-services) both examples coming in an overall very nice- (albeit I deem just minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. The 'Spange' originates from a private-household in Germany where they were recently uncovered and both are nicely preserved examples that seem to have never been cleaned nor polished: both come in an equally tarnished- ie. dusty condition and also come mounted on their period-attached ribbons. The pronounced and very detailed! - 'N.S.D.A.P. Dienstauszeichnung' has most certainly never been cleaned and retains most (ie. all!) of its truly bright-coloured, silver-toned finish: the (non-maker-marked) award retains great pronounced detail and retains a fully undamaged and nicely preserved typical (darker-blue) enamelled finish (without showing any damage or alike). The award also retains most of its high-polished sides ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten' (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Polizei-Dienstauszeichnung 1. Stufe' also retains gorgeous details and still shows all of its 'off-factory' polished-sides (ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten'). The medal is just a tiny bit tarnished but truly retains a great, bright-golden-toned age-patina overall (it has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished). Both awards came naturally still mounted onto their original, folded- and confectioned ribbons (the 'Polizei-Dienstauszeichnung 1. Stufe' naturally shows its golden-yellow-toned- and nicely interwoven police-eagle-device as to be expected). The 'Spange' just shows some minimal dirt and/or dust acquired over the years: the ribbons show some equal minor usage and/or staining. The 'Spange' has truly very nice detail and is not 'backed' with a piece of wool but comes mounted onto a chrome-based ('D.R.G.M.-marked and neatly detachable) mounting-plate that still retains its (still functional) pin-ie. catch set-up. Simply a very attractive - and very desirable! - example of an N.S.D.A.P.- ie. Polizei-related, 'Doppelspange' having an unusual combination and that can be mounted on almost any TR-period tunic!
