A shallow flake to the red enamel of the 3 o'clock arm, visible only when tilting the cross to reflect a bright light. Minimal wear to the blue enamel becomes noticeable starting at 10x magnification, practically invisible to the naked eye. The reverse is plain. The ribbon is a little faded on the obverse side and appears to be original. The attachment pin on the ribbon's bar is missing.
