MEDAL OF THE ORDER BRITISH EMPIRE IN ORIGINAL CASE Scarce

  

Instituted in June 1917, the medal was only awarded until 1922 with fewer than 2,000 issued. The example for sale is unnamed as issued.

In a nice EF condition, the medal has a regular surface toning with little wear and comes with a piece of ribbon and original silver pin clasp. The original John Pinches, London embossed case is in very good condition with the odd light scrape - see photos. A nice original example and an ideal replacement of a medal which are very hard to find and are rather scarce.
