German Awards - Military Service Award for 10 years 1834

Awards for military service in Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach were first established by Grand Duke Karl Friedrich on November 14, 1834. Officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers were awarded for their long and loyal service in the army. The award was established in two phases or classes over 20 and 10 years of service. These awards were rarely given on short notice. Exact award figures are not known. These awards, according to the military convention with Prussia of June 26, 1867, were replaced by service awards in the form of buckles with a changed service life. The first form of service awards is extremely rare and also expensive. Source: Jörg Nemmergut, German Orders and insignia until 1945 3.
