Offered is an authentic World War II Bronze Star Medal, issued in 1944, accompanied by its original, correctly dated box with interior padding. This is highly desirable and reflects wartime production/distribution standards.
The Bronze Star Medal was established in 1944 and awarded for heroic or meritorious achievement or service in a combat zone, making it one of the most respected U.S. military decorations of the Second World War. This example represents early wartime manufacture and is a tangible piece of American military history.
The original box bears period-correct government and manufacturer markings, including:
Specification: P.Q.D. No. 112D
Purchase Order: PO 9734
Date: December 30, 1944
Manufacturer: Swank, Inc., Attleboro, Massachusetts
Issuing Authority: Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot
Swank, Inc. was a major wartime contractor responsible for producing military medals and insignia during WWII, and Attleboro, Massachusetts was a key hub for U.S. medal manufacturing at the time.
The medal and box show honest age-related wear consistent with wartime artifacts, enhancing authenticity and historical integrity. The original padding remains intact, which is increasingly uncommon for WWII-era medals.
Superb piece for WWII collectors, military historians, decorations & medals enthusiasts, or museum-quality collections.
Please review all photos carefully for additional details and condition.
