PLEASE READ AND VIEW ALL PHOTOS. This was found amongst a deceased family member’s belongings. It has both the medal and addition ribbon pin still appearing functionally sound. Also in original box with place of origin details. What info and advice we find and obtain it is genuine. Oftentimes it took years for military members to receive awards and ribbons, medals. 3rd parties were contracted by the military to distribute, manufacture and sell genuine military medals to be given to servicemen. We’re assuming this belonged to his father who had indeed served in WWII from Italy to Germany. We assumed it was his father’s as it was packaged with other war memorabilia as well as personal items.
