1962 NORTHERN IRELAND General Service Medal with Clasp - Full Size/Made in Britain

This is an exquisite replica of the Northern Ireland General Service Medal and is ideal for the collector or as a replacement. The General Service Medal was introduced in 1962, which the Northern Ireland edition of the medal awarded to members of the Armed Forces who have served 30 days continuous service in Northern Ireland since 1969. The medal features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the front, with an oakleaf wreath on the reverse surrounding the crown and words 'For Campaign Service'. It is suspended from a purple and green ribbon, complete with the Northern Ireland clasp. These are stunning new productions and the only difference form the originals is that these have a discreet 'copy' written on the reverse side of the medal, this can clearly be seen in the pictures. These medals are made in Great Britain by one of the finest and oldest medal and military accoutrement manufacturers (UK Medal Office Approved) in the country so you know that in terms of quality these cannot be beaten. Just to clarify, these medals are MoD approved reproductions of the genuine issue medals and can be issued without reservation or application. The original genuine medals can only be issued through application to the MoD/UK government.
