Stunning, so-called: 'Zollgrenzschütz-Ehrenzeichen' (or: customs loyal-service medal) that comes together with its full-length- (ie. broader-shaped, minimally confectioned- and actually scarcely found!) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') as issued
This is truly very attractive - and actually very scarcely encountered! - example of a typical reddish-bronze-toned (and/or: typical 'Buntmetall'-based!) so-called: 'Zollgrenzschütz-Ehrenzeichen' (or: customs loyal-service medal) that came together with its full-length- (ie. broader-shaped, minimally confectioned- and actually scarcely found!) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') as issued and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem issued- and/or minimally worn- ie. never mounted-), condition. The medal is just a tiny bit tarnished but retains a truly fantastic and detailed age-patina overall (it has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished). The award - which was as stated above once-mounted - came together with its original, nicely folded and almost full-length (ie. approximately 14 cms. long and/or: 5,2 cms. wide-sized) cornflower-blue-coloured ribbon that shows an interwoven golden-yellow-coloured 'Zollgrenzschütz'-eagle-device (as can be seen on the pictures). The award originates from a private-household in Germany where it was recently found. Simply a very nicely preserved - and/or fully complete! - 'Zollgrenzschütz-Ehrenzeichen'-set that is - I deem - accordingly priced: maybe the best such set I ever had on offer!
