Belgium: Civil Decoration for Long Service in the Administration, Bronze Grade. Relatively scarce.
Condition: Good Very Fine.
The decoration was instituted on 21 July 1867 and is awarded to government officers for a minimum of 25 years service. If differs from the Civil Decoration for Bravery, Devotion and Philanthropy only in that its ribbon is of red and black stripes with no yellow border. A good older example.
