Can anyone sort out the differences between an Austrian 1., 2., 3. Klasse Long Service Award for "Other Ranks"??? As an example, here's a (purported) example of a higher class award. Is this distinction reality? or is it a "fabricated" market for collectors? Thanks! Rick

I'd agree with John on this. I've never seen a credible/provenenced Para Badge by JFS
