Cased Bronze Star Medal

Product Description: A World War II-era Cased Bronze Star Medal, presented in its original fitted case, the exterior and interior preserved in excellent condition but shows some spotting and wear to the inner surfaces. The medal retains its period brooch of WWII style and is unengraved, with no name or markings to the reverse. Accompanied by original enameled buttonhole ribbon. Altogether, a well-preserved and highly presentable example of a Cased Bronze Star, offered in overall excellent condition.

Historical Description: Every nation that participated in WWII issued awards and decorations to recognize the achievements of its military members, and the United States was no exception. There were  a series of awards that were instituted specifically for this conflict, and for the post-war occupation. These awards included the WWII Victory Medal, as well as service, campaign, and occupation medals for those who served in specific places at certain times. There were also medals for valor, heroism, and meritorious achievement. Some medals, such as the Navy Distinguished Service Medal and Navy Cross, were issued to members of specific military branches, while the Air Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross were reserved for achievements during aerial flight. The highest US military award for soldiers, the Medal of Honor, was awarded 472 times for WWII service. Some WWII US military awards were made and issued by the millions, and some medals made during the war may even still be issued by the military today. Other military awards, particular high valor awards, were made in limited numbers and are prized by collectors of historical items. Named awards and award groupings that have potential for further research, or that are linked to important battles, are particularly valued.
