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.

Just letting you know that the whistle arrived here this morning safe and sound. Your excellent packaging was still totally intact and it took me all of five minutes to break into it to see my purchase. I am very pleased, it is a great whistle.
