Crusade Against Communism Medal (opinions please)

[Spoonman]

I've recently been expanding (or rebuilding) my collection of medals. I've started with Stalingrad as the epicenter. I wanted to get your opinions on this CAC Medal from Romania. I don't have calipers to measure, but it weighs 7 grams (if I recall correctly). The ribbon does not glow under black light, and you can see striations along the edge. At first I thought it was a casting seam, but then I realized it was more of a spiral (multiples). I got it for $29 off of eBay, so I wasn't too worried about taking a chance.

Thank you again for your help. I haven't been able to find much on the CAC medal except through some old posts on here.

It's a good one. Many Germans were also awarded this medal. Lots of info to find here on the WAF on this medal.

A friend told me how he "earned" this one while standing in the Line at the Field Kitchen.
A romanian Genaral was waiting for the (German) Guy's fighting with a romanian Unit, throwing a Medal in everybody's Pot.
Sadly he passed away some years ago.
