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.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
