This is a fine Second World War U. Mavy/Marine Corps Air Medal in its short black leatherette case that remains in excellent condition. The planchet is with the fine, dull bronze finish that is characteristic of the WWII Navy/Marine Corps decorations. It is suspended from its original short-draped ribbon which remains strong, solid, and is with vibrant color. It is suspended from a full wrap broach that is complete with pin and roller locking catch assembly. The short black leatherette case is titled “AIR MEDAL” in gold leaf in one line on the outer lid. The interior remains in clean and undamaged. The Air Medal was awarded for the successful completion of 20 operational combat sorties against the enemy. This one remains a fine example of the Navy/Marine Corps decoration.
