AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONAL SERVICE MEDAL GROUP REPLICA ANZAC MOUNTED TO WEAR GROUP

Offered is a full sized replica set of court mounted medals for Border Operational service.

Medals include the following awards: Operational Service Medal (Border Operations) & The Australian Defence Medal.

Medals come court mounted onto a pin back bracket and thick backing. These can be worn on commemorative occasions or mounted in a frame for display. We make these medals ourselves from the cast of an original issue medal, retaining realistic and good features to each medal. Medals are made from a light metal alloy, with the campaign stars brass plated, with a toned finish and the service medals being silver plated. We don't compete for price - we compete at quality.

This is the perfect replace/replica set of medals to a serving or former veteran.

Medal History

* The Australian Operational Service Medal – Border Protection recognises the range of border protection operations conducted since 1997. To qualify, Defence members must have been deployed or force assigned for duty as a member of a declared operation:

• for a period of not less than an aggregate of 30 days; or

• completed 30 sorties from a unit assigned to a declared operation, provided that those sorties were conducted over a period of not less than an aggregate of 30 days at a rate of one sortie per day.

* The Australian Defence Medal recognises Australian Defence Force personnel who have efficiently completed either:

• an initial enlistment period, or

• four years service,

whichever is the lesser, and all of the relevant service was after 3 September 1945.

Included are former Defence Force members who did not complete the qualifying period because they:

• died in service,

• were medically discharged (based upon individual circumstances), or

• left the service due to a Defence workplace policy of the time. (For example, in the past a woman was required to resign on marriage).
