    Description

    First awarded in 1942, the African Campaign Medal was issued to German soldiers to recognize their achievements in the North African desert campaign of the Africa Corps.
    This is a bronze replica of the award.  It comes with a six-inch length of the appropriate 30 (not 25) mm ribbon.  The ribbon is a post-war German-made replica.
    The body of the medal measures 30 mm across.  The front features two gladiators (Italy and Germany) wrestling a crocodile (England).  The reverse has the Felini Arch and the royal knot of the Italian Royal House of Savoy.
