WW2 Kriegsverdienstmedaille (War Merit Medal), complete with its original later-war ribbon, featuring a slightly brighter and more vivid color tone compared to earlier types.
 
The ribbon is authentic and fully period, typical of mid-to-late war production.
The medal itself is in absolute mint condition, with sharp details, no corrosion, and a beautiful finish that makes it stand out among other examples. It’s clear this piece was either well-preserved or never issued.
 
100% original and guaranteed wartime production.
