WW2 German 4-Year Wehrmacht Long Service Medal

This is an original 4-Year Wehrmacht Long Service Medal (Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichnung 4. Klasse für 4 Jahre Dienstzeit), awarded to members of the German armed forces in recognition of four years of honorable service. Instituted on 16 March 1936, this decoration was part of a series recognizing longer service durations, with higher grades issued for 12, 18, and 25 years of service.

Struck in silvered bronze, the medal features a stylized Wehrmacht eagle clutching a swastika, surrounded by the inscription “Treue Dienste in der Wehrmacht” (“Faithful Service in the Wehrmacht”). The reverse bears a large numeral “4” within an oak wreath, signifying the length of service recognized. It is suspended from the original deep blue moiré ribbon, which remains in excellent condition, and retains the correct pin-back attachment for wear on the uniform.

This piece is a fine example of a wartime-produced Wehrmacht long service award and would make an excellent addition to any collection of German military medals.
