Title War Medal
Nationality British
Period c 1945
Sold

This is the standard War Medal issued by the government to anyone who had served overseas in WW2. Normally, it would have been issued in conjunction with the various campaign starts associated with that war, viz Italy, Burma, etc. It has the remains of its original wax paper wrapping. Alas, there is no ribbon.

This is one of a batch I bought which had been stored in damp conditions, resulting in some patination damage to the surface of both sides. This could possibly be polished out.

Incredibly, I received your shipment today. Super fast delivery, I was expecting it on Saturday. The helmet was, as you said, 100%. The side cap is excellent also...

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.
