Meritorious Service Medal, Type 3.
In silver-plated brass; measures 38.5 mm in height (incl. eyelet), 33.1 mm in width; weighs 15.6 g not including the suspension and connecting link. This version features horseshoe-shaped eyelet "stepped" on the obverse and "non-stepped" on the reverse.
In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is exceptionally well-preserved having only a few tiny contact marks that are nearly invisible to the naked eye, no other wear. The raised details of the artwork on the obverse and characters on the reverse are perfect and crisp. The silver finish on both sides of the medal as well as the gilt finish on the wreath are nicely preserved and bright.
Comes on original suspension in brass. The ribbon is sound and shows only minimal wear. Overall, a superb example.
