It is aprox. 53mm wide and 5.5mm thick in the center. There is a marking on the lower cross arm end. It has 900 and 1 stamped into it. It weighs aprox. 1.25 ounces. The medal is tarnished and has some old polish residue in the corners. On one tip there is a fresh ding, and the exposed metal is silver color. The medal looks like it has seen a lot of wear. Would that be unusual or would someone making a copy try to age it to look old? The hanger arms are bent a little and the loop has some gouges in it like someone tried to cut it with something, but did not go too far. I have photos if someone will help post them for me.
