Description: The 1939-1945 Star is a military campaign medal instituted on 8 July 1943 by the United Kingdom to award to subjects of the British Commonwealth for service in the Second World War during specified periods of operational service overseas (between 3 September 1939 and 2 September 1945). The broad criterion was 180 days of service with more specific criteria depending on the service arm. The star is a six-pointed star, struck in yellow copper zinc alloy. The front of the 1939-1945 star has a central design of the Royal Cypher "GRI IV", surmounted by a crown and a circle in which is inscribed "THE 1939-1945 STAR". The reverse is plain and, as with the other Second World War campaign medals, a no-engraving policy was applied by all but three British Commonwealth countries (but the recipient’s name was impressed on the reverse for Australians, Indians and South Africans). The ribbon is 1 ¼ inches wide and is dark blue, red and light blue in color. The medal was not issued with a broach. The medal is in excellent condition. It displays very well. Please view photos to judge condition for yourself. Buyer agrees to pay $5.95 USPS shipping. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
