Medal "For Long Higher National Service".
This medal (these medals) present a challenge. The same suspension legend is used on both. Based on the suspension bar, the name would be Medal "For a Long and Highest Quality National Service".
I have no clue whether either ribbon is correct and strongly suspect the ribbon on the round medal is quite wrong. I see several possibilities here: -- An "order" (the star) and "medal" class for different periods of service? -- They are really for two different sorts of service (military and labor?) and you just "know" from the design diffences? A single award with two divisions? -- Suspension bars are being married with medals to create "mules"? -- Something else entirely is going on? So much remains to be learned about these (and all) awards. |
