Offered is an original full sized, unnamed (as issued) 1939-45 Campaign Star with 15cm length of unmounted ribbon. This is one of over 300 we have available, so all examples are in good condition to very good condition, with minor condition differences. The item you receive may vary ever so slightly from the item pictured.
