Brass, 32.1 mm wide; weighs 17.2 g not including the suspension and connecting link.

In very fine to excellent condition. The medallion is free of nicks or edge knocks. On the reverse, there are few very minor dings and scratches, but no significant wear; the details of the bas-relief portrait are extremely well-preserved and crisp. The reverse is essentially pristine, completely free of any wear visible to the naked eye. The obverse shows a very attractive light toning to the brass with some of the original "gilt" mint luster visible in recessed areas around the letters; the mint luster is very well-preserved and bright on the reverse.

The medal comes on an early post-war suspension device, a double-layer model in brass and steel with an integral catch of the pin. The relatively recent, lightly used ribbon is perfectly clean and sound. The connecting link appears to be of the period. Overall, a beautiful example of the Variation 1 Victory Medal.
