Hello. I would like some help figuring out a value on this medal. It has a number of issues, obviously.
Doing a quick internet search, I find that there are three different issued versions of this medal. Using calipers it measures out to 1.493" which is 3.79cm. Does that make this the 41cm NCO version worn down or the 37cm enlisted version? I understand that this can significantly affect value.
Additionally, it's pretty beat up and pitted which I'm sure would play a part. Finally, what I assume is the maker's mark reads "IN WIRT" with one letter tacked on the end which I can't read. Is this a maker's mark or a motto or something else?
If better pictures are needed let me know and I will try.
Thanks.
