Awards Germany - Service Award Buckle 1st Class 1825

This service award was awarded to non-commissioned officers and soldiers who served in the army for 21 years. If people participated in hostilities or wars, this time was doubly counted. These staples were not replaced by medals or crosses until 1913.

The award is in the form of a clasp superimposed on a sheet covered with an order ribbon, with a needle located on the back side, transverse. Versions of rapprochement are also known. The earlier form of the award had a smaller 3 in the shield and was about twice as expensive. Behind - the manufacturer.
