Original wartime

Agreed. Nice one with an old and most likely original, two-piece suspension.
A keeper, no doubt.

It's a wartime issue var 1. Do you also have the award document?

[fpicoli]

Unfotunatly, i don't have the document!
But, if i could find one....

no doubt original. i'd like to see a clear picture of where the suspension ring attaches to the medal. i'm used to seeing the ring close a little closer at the medal, but it just could be the shadow effect...
