Hi
Another medal from the collection. Cannot find it in my reference books. Can you identify it and tell if it is genuine.
Many thanks
Andy

Nope, colors are correct. However, they do look rather bright and the ribbon does look fairly new compared to the wear of the medal itself.

Unfortunately, I am not an expert at these Satellite State awards Andy. I'll leave that one to the experts.
