This is an extremely fine World War II U. Army Bronze Star Medal in its black leatherette case that is in excellent condition. The planchet is with a nice olive bronze finish to both the obverse and reverse sides. The star is suspended from a short-draped ribbon that is with bright, vivid color. Affixed to the ribbon is the combat’V’ device for valor and two bronze oakleaf clusters indicating a second and third award of the decoration. The medal is mounted on the correct WWII style slot broach that is complete with functional pin and roller lock assemblies. The black leatherette case is titled, “BRONZE STAR MEDAL” in gold leaf on two lines and is without damage. Included in the case is the enameled lapel pin, but the ribbon bar is not present. It remains a fine-looking decoration that was awarded three times for combat valor.
