An original West Wall Medal (Deutsches Schutzwall-Ehrenzeichen) with it`s original envelope. The medal is oval-shaped appears to be struck in bronze (or zinc) and has a Bronze wash finnish which has mostly faded. It has a border of overlapping oak leaves with crossed sword and shovel which represent the Siegfried line, with the Wehrmacht eagle above complete with suspension loop, unmarked. I don`t think it`s an original ribbon. The reverse of the medal bears the inscription FUR ARBEIT SCHUTZ DEUTLANDS which translates to (FOR WORK IN THE DEFENCE OF GERMANY). The medal has no damage or repairs and is in very good condition.
GBP 44.00 plus postage
