Original Early WWII US Navy Wrapped Wrap Broach Bronze Star Medal. Bronze star in original box.
The planchet features a military soldier walking beside a civilian. Above them, along the upper edge are the words, “Marine Corps Reserve” and below their feet are the words, “For Service”. The reverse is with the words, “Fidelity, Zeal, Obedience” around the outer edge with the plain center not being engraved. The planchet is with virtually all the original bronze finish. It is suspended from the original ribbon and mounted on a full wrap broach. Both the pin and roller locking assemblies are fully functional. A very hard to find example that remains in excellent condition.
This is a very nice early World War II U. Air Medal in its black leatherette presentation case that is in excellent condition. The planchet is nicely struck and with mellow bronze finish that is now with an attractive light age toned patina. It is mounted on its original ribbon, which is undamaged, strong, and with excellent color. It is suspended from its original full wrap broach with fully functional pin and catch assemblies. The reverse of the broached is incised with the number,’833′. This is a very early war issue that remains in excellent, undamaged condition.
