Silver, lacquer; measures 37.0 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.2 mm in width; weighs 18.2 g not including the suspension and connecting link. This early version of the Type 2 features a slightly curved down hilt of the saber.

Silver, lacquer; measures 37.0 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.2 mm in width; weighs 18.2 g not including the suspension and connecting link. This early version of the Type 2 features a slightly curved down hilt of the saber.

In very fine condition. As is often the case with WW2 issues and especially relatively early ones, the lacquer in the letters is mostly worn out. The medallion is otherwise free of significant wear, having only some tiny contact marks and minor scratches, mostly on the reverse and none of them glaring. The raised artwork and lettering are well-preserved and crisp. There are no significant edge knocks or bumps. Very attractive dark patina to silver throughout.

Comes on an original WW2 suspension, a two-layer model in steel with self-locking pin. The perfectly preserved, clean ribbon is relatively recent, although it shows some use. The connecting link appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder.
