    Ahh! it seems i need to do more research then, I have a 25 year cross, but that has the pebbled finish, what has "thrown me" is this (attached) which I know to be a smooth armed early piece by  Hossaur, (Modern ribbon though)

     

    Thanks for the reply

     

    regards

    Hi Alex,

    Here are two sites for the prussian officers cross and the enlisted cross.

    Antique Photos - Long Service Award for Officers (antique-photos.com)

    Dienstauszeichnung 1.Klasse 1913 für 15 Jahre (ehrenzeichen-orden.de)

     

    To add to the confusion, the confusion the hessian and prussian 15 year cross are very similar.

    Hi thanks for the links interesting information, my 25 year award is the later type with the pebbled finish, I can see the confusion between the prussian and Hessian 15 year awards, I'll remember that

    Here are my loose 25 year crosses. The smooth arm with the turned small ring and split ring are very early. The cross center bottom is stamped Hossauer on the rim of the body between the 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock arms.
