Original South West Africa Prisons Service Medal, awarded for loyal service during the South African administration period. Features the distinctive scales-and-sword emblem with green, white, and yellow ribbon.
This medal is an original South West Africa (SWA) Prisons Service Medal, awarded during the final years of South African administration in the territory. It was instituted circa 19861990 and issued to members of the SWA Prisons Service in recognition of loyal or faithful service.
The medal features a unique emblem displaying a set of scales of justice overlaid by a sword or cross, symbolising law, order, and authority. The accompanying ribbon, with its green, white, and yellow vertical stripes, is specific to this decoration and distinguishes it from other SWA and South African service medals of the period.
This piece is a notable collectible for those interested in South African-controlled territorial forces, Namibian institutional history, and late-era administrative service awards.
