Reverse. --dj--Joe Some added info. The badge measures 23mm. and is magnetic, the pin is not and I doubt the pin retaining plate is but I can not tell. The detail is present beneath the enamel, scanner did not pick it up.
Thanks Don. In these so many years of collecting this is the first Tirol example that has surfaced localy to my knowledge. Should my funds improve I may have to actively search out a couple of enameled examples. --dj--Joe
Postschutz buckles are indeed one of the more interesting designs of N.S. period buckles. But last time I checked they cost both an arm and a leg to purchase. --dj--Joe
Through a trade deal, I have acquired my first example. Allow me to get my loop. It's that small I can not read the writing on the front. Meistersch?tze 1943. Non magnetic zinc/alloy base metal. Brass pin and pin plate. Obverse, Reverse, --dj--Joe
I note this did not receive much comment. Was it common for two Faithfull Service cross's to be worn together? I had read that only the highest would be worn, in this case the 40 yr. But I have seen many instances of nonconforming bars and strange sequence of awards. Has it been noted before that more than one was worn? I looked about but have not seen other examples. --dj--Joe
