Comments
This is an official government-issued restrike of the American Campaign Medal, awarded to U.S. military personnel who served in the American Theater between December 7, 1941 and March 2, 1946. The medal design is faithful to the original WWII version, but the presence of a crimp brooch, S-38 contractor code confirms it was produced as a replacement set in the postwar period, likely between the 1970s and 1990s. These restrikes are fully recognized and legitimate, though they differ from wartime originals in mounting style and packaging.
