CONDITION:
7 (Very Fine): The badge is in beautiful shape with all enamel intact, a handsome tarnish and minor fading to the ribbons. There is moderate wear inside the lining of the case where the medal has rested for years. The top left-hand corner of the case has separated slightly and there are small spots of light to moderate wear elsewhere on the case.
