- WWII Purple Heart Military Award medal in old style case with ribbon bar and lapel pin and serial numbered
WWII Purple Heart Military Award serial numbered medal in case with ribbon bar and lapel pin.
Medal is serial numbered. Serial numbered medals are much rarer than unnumbered ones.
Nice Condition Overall in my opinion for its age. See scans so you can make your own determination.
Case has has some outside and inside imperfections which is common for these 70+ year old cases. Case has 'PURPLE HEART" on the lid. Looks better in person. The brightness of my scanner makes them look worse.
Case is the older wooden case.
Only one set available.
You are buying one medal, one case, one lapel pin and one ribbon bar.
Medal pin assembly has the slot and it is sewed on.
Ribbon bar with the one pin on the back. Ribbon bar has the zinc pin assembly instead of the brass type. In 1943 brass was removed from about everything to go to the war effort. This is the year the US Mint made the 1943 steel/zinc cents. This set may have been made in 1943 or earlier. Probably earlier considering the case it is in.
One piece lapel pin.
