Product Description: A Franco Prussian War 1870–1871 Medal, a non combatant-issued example, presented in excellent condition with an attractive and even patina throughout.
Accompanied by approximately 6 inches of original ribbon, neatly preserved, the piece displays minimal handling wear and retains strong visual presence. A well-preserved and historically resonant example of the Franco Prussian War 1870–1871 Medal, representative of the conflict that reshaped the political landscape of late 19th-century Europe.
Historical Description: The Franco-Prussian War was a pivotal conflict that reshaped Europe, leading to the fall of the Second French Empire and the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership. Awarded in 1880, nearly a decade after the war, this medal honored those who defended France during the siege of Paris, key regional battles, and the desperate struggles of the French Army and National Guard. The inclusion of six clasps makes this an exceptionally rare and historically significant piece, as clasps were only awarded for specific engagements, adding to its collectibility.
An outstanding artifact from one of the most consequential European wars of the 19th century, this Franco-Prussian War Medal with Six Clasps is a highly sought-after addition to any serious collection of French or European military decorations.
