WW2 German 8 Year Service Medal

The 8-Year SS Service Award (SS-Dienstauszeichnung) stands as a powerful symbol, forged in 1938 to honor unwavering dedication and loyalty within the ranks of the SS. It was more than just a medal—it was a badge of commitment, awarded to officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted men alike who had dedicated eight honorable years of active service.

Why does this medal hold such significance? This bronze piece represents the essential third step in a prestigious four-tier system of long service awards, which also commemorates 4, 12, and 25 years of unwavering dedication. For many, these medals carried deep emotional weight, embodying years of sacrifice, discipline, and steadfastness. Historians observe that the tradition of awarding these medals largely faded around late 1941, marking the end of a renowned era of recognition for long-term service.

NSDAP armband

I am unsure on the authenticity of these armbands. Obtained the three of them today for cheap so I was already super suspicious, they were listed as being authentic but for the price I couldn’t say no. I’m no expert, could someone with more experience help me out? Thanks
