Title WW2 War Medal, sterling silver
Nationality Canadian
Period 1945
Price £30.00

This is the sterling silver version issued in 1945 to Canadian troops for service overseas in World War 2. The British version was struck in nickel silver, but for some reason the Canadians were lucky enough to have theirs issued in somewhat finer metal. It carried the normal ribbon for the British example, sadly missing.

Its condition is near EF, with a little marginal toning behind the king's logo.

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)

Collected bayonet this morning, all safe & sound as described. Been looking for one as good as this for years. Thank you.
