I'd surmise that these were only issued with pendants numbered 1 through 9, and that after 9 years you'd get the Long Servise Medal. But, perusing one of Boev's badges books I see a "10" and an "11" numbered pendant. Maybe the soldier wanted everyone to know just exactly how long he'd survived in the armed forces? :rolleyes:
