The medal has the same basic design with a suspension loop at the top and a white bordered red ribbon. CONDITION: the 2nd class award is a beautiful example with complete gold and smooth enamel. The 3rd class award has some minute flakes to the enamel and some wear to the gold finish. The ribbon is quite sound. PROVENANCE: from the collection of Joel Thone. (02-22562/BF). $1,000-1,600.
