Silver, lacquer; 32.4 mm wide; weighs 18.1 not including the suspension and connecting link. Features separate, soldered eyelet and straight saber hilt.
In excellent condition. The medallion shows practically no wear, having only a couple of tiny contact marks at the raised edge that are almost unnoticeable to the naked eye. The raised details of the rifle, sword and lettering are perfect and crisp. The original red lacquer in the letters is completely intact which is very uncommon for a Combat Service Medal of WWII period: most of them have the lacquer either completely worn-out or replaced. There are no bumps, significant scratches, or other noticeable wear. There is a very attractive, even dark patina to silver on both sides.
The medal comes on an WW2 original suspension, a two-layer model in steel. The well-preserved ribbon is old, possibly original to the medal. The
silver connecting link between the medal and suspension appears to be original as well, and its ends are still joined with solder.
