The medals are of the standard size.
The board on which they are mounted measures 13cm (5 inches) by 18cm (7 inches).
The set with mount weighs 230g.
~ Condition ~
The medals are in a decent condition with varying amounts of oxidation which mainly effects the reverse of the medals.
The ribbons are in a nice condition.
The clasp is in working order.
The board mount is a bit worn with cardboard fixed to the back for stability. There are small ‘hooks’ integrated in the board to hold
the medals in place but one is damaged so the medals are not secured to the board very well.
