FRENCH MILITARY CAMPAIGN MEDAL OF THE FOREIGN LEGION

THE ALGERIA CAMPAIGN OF 1954 - 1964.

A very attractive original gilt bronze medal measuring 1.1/8th inches in diameter (30mm) and in very fine, age toned condition. It is complete with correct ribbon which is original and displays the "Algeria" campaign bar. The ribbon is original and is also in good condition.

The Algeria campaign was a classic French Foreign Legion action.
I fully guarantee that it is genuine and authentic and would make a very nice addition to any collection.
A very interesting and historic medal. For further information on this medal, please see below.
