Superb - and actually rarely encountered! - 'SS-Dienstauszeichnung der 4. Stufe' (or black-toned, loyal-service medal for 4 years of loyal-service in the SS) that comes together with its original (and slightly used) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt')
The truly very attractive - and typically non-maker-marked and most certainly rarely found! - 'SS-Dienstauszeichnung der 4. Stufe' (or: black-toned, loyal-service medal for 4 years of loyal-service in the SS) is a truly detailed piece that truly retains all of its black-toned finish as issued and/or stored for decades. The medal - which is (as always) executed in so-called: 'Buntmetall' - was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in a collection: it comes together with its (once-mounted, folded, minimally shortened and/or approx. 17,5 cms. sized) cornflower-blue-coloured ribbon as to be expected. The medal comes mounted onto its typically shaped ring (ie. 'Tropfenöse') and has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished - it shows some minimal tarnish - and has an immaculate (ie. fully undamaged-) black-coloured age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). It should be noted that for unknown reasons these 4th class SS-DA are actually much harder to find than their 3rd class counterparts. Simply a very attractive example of the: 'SS-Dienstauszeichnung der 4. Stufe' that will be impossible to be upgraded!
