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.

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