Long service question.

[CRBeery]

I recently found this chain and I am not familiar with this long service award. I am used to seeing these with Roman numerals for the years of service. Is this a rare one or a generic "one size fits all" award. It is nice for being pre 1897.

Hi CRBeery,

How about this?

Braunschweig Landwehr 2nd class schnalle, 1879-1886

[CRBeery]

That is it. I was stuck on Prussia so it did not make sense.

The first and only Brunswick enamel schanlle I have ever seen. I bet there can't be more than 2-3 of them in the world.

I had never seen one like that, until I got one two weeks ago. So two around... still not common.

By the way, I think I've yet to see the Baden LD in mini size... anyone?

[CRBeery]

Very nice! Now there are two versions of these. I like yours better as the detail is nice. I guess mine is the early version.

[saschaw]

Probably different makers, however yours must be older.

Noone has a Baden one?

Hi Wild Card!

Could you post the rearside of the 2nd class - I would like to see the needle...

Thanks for help!

Hello westfale, I apologize for the delay.

How is this? If you need more detail, I will see what I can do -

no problem.

Best wishes,

Hello Wild Card,

thanks a lot for the picture - here the reason (after fixing a problem with my camera). It's to compare it with my one - not often seen...

regards
