Attractive - and truly very unusually found! - example of a so-called: 'Einzelspange' (ie. single-pieced medal-bar) showing a: 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse' (or: silver-class, loyal-service-medal for 25 yrs. of loyal civil-service)

This is an attractive - and truly very unusally encountered! - example of a so-called: 'Einzelspange' (ie. single-pieced medal-bar) showing a court-mounted specimen of a: 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse' (or: silver-class, loyal-service-medal for 25 yrs. of loyal civil-service) and that comes in an overall very nice (and I deem issued- and/or only minimally worn-), condition. This example came mounted onto its original and/or neatly pre-folded- (cornflower-blue-coloured) ribbon. The medal - which retains truly most (ie. all!) of its frosted, silver-toned finish and that shows a pristine black-enamelled swastika in its centre - is a very nice and/or pronounced (and I deem 'Buntmetall'-based-) example having extraordinary detail (the medal has never been cleaned nor polished and is just a bit dusty and/or tarnished, simply caused by decades of storage and/or minimal wear). The 'Einzelspange' is not backed with a piece of wool but came mounted onto a metal- ie. chrome-based 'backing-plate' that shows a function pin ie. pin/catch-set-up (as can be noticed on the pictures). It should be noted that the (quite commonly found!) 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse' is one of those TR-period awards that is not often (ie. almost never!) encountered in the format of an: 'Einzelspange'. Simply a very attractive example that will be hard to be upgraded!
