Looks to be a very nice original

I can't comment on the L/55 packet as I've never seen one like that before.

Thanks Ian. It was one of eight from a hoard or something uncovered. They were all mint like this one. Pretty happy to have a perfect example.

Hi Lewis,

Very nice medal, ribbon, and packet. The packet with the 'L 55' marking is not often seen, but they are completely original IMO. It's a packet by Rudolf Wächtler & Lange, used for the commercial sales market rather than as an official supplier to the chancellery.

Best regards,
Tom

Here is another packet just like it:

Nice set Lewis!

Thanks!
I know a lot people don't like unissued/mint examples because they don't have much character. But i don't know, there is just something about having mint clean examples I love.
