]
issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt The medal was intended to recognize those military service members who had performed military duty in the European Theater (to include North Africa and the Middle East) during the years of the Second World War.
Nice example of the EAME Campaign Medal. This is an early "crimped brooch" example, and comes with its original ribbon bar. We know this is one of the earlier medals because it lacks the darkened finish (faux patina in relief) that is found in later examples. This one does not come with the box.
The medal remains in good condition, showing signs of age, use, and wear. Please see the pictures for more detail.
