8 (Excellent-). The base of the cardboard box is in good condition, but the lid does show some signs of wear: The cardboard is weakened and slightly detached in some places along the rim, and the top of the lid is missing paint in a few areas. However, the box has served its purpose of protecting the medal very well, which is why the medal is in a great condition with very few signs of wear and only minor and very even tarnishing.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
