A smooth and polished George cross with a narrow triple border, constructed of white metal gilt. The obverse medallion features a double border and a crown in the centre. The reverse medallion features the Roman numeral ‘XV’. On loop for suspension, on a dark red ribbon with broad white side stripes.
The Military Long Service Bar was founded by Grand Duke Ludwig III and was conferred upon Non-Commissioned Officers and soldiers to denote seniority and long service.
In 1913, Type III replaced Type II and the decoration was completely remodelled. Rather than bars, Type III featured a I Class Cross for 15 years and two round medallions for 12 and 9 years of service.
The I Class Cross for 15 Years was modelled in the Prussian style.
