British Commonwealth Second World War Medal Group

This item consists of a court-mounted five-medal group featuring campaign and service medals from the Second World War (1939-1945). The group includes three bronze-colored six-pointed campaign stars, followed by two circular silver-toned medals. Specifically, the stars visible appear to be the 1939–1945 Star, the Italy Star, and the France and Germany Star, identifiable by their distinct multicolored silk ribbons featuring vertical stripes of red, blue, green, and white. The two circular medals are likely the Defence Medal and the War Medal 1939–1945. The medals are professionally 'court mounted,' meaning they are fixed to a rigid backing board so the ribbons wrap around and behind the medals, preventing them from clinking against one another. The condition appears well-maintained with clear ribbon colors and defined strike details on the metal surfaces, though some natural oxidation or patina is expected for medals of this era. This set represents a veteran's service across multiple theaters of operation, likely within the British or Commonwealth forces. The construction utilizes high-quality silk for the ribbons and struck metal for the planchets, hallmark of official government issue decorations from the Mid-20th Century.
