A superb and unusually seen (golden-bronze-toned) French 1939–1945 Commemorative war medal (Médaille commémorative de la guerre 1939–1945) with Norvege - Norway - bar as issued to Norwegian Troops who were under French command.

I was lucky to find recently four unusually seen (golden-bronze-toned) French 1939–1945 Commemorative war medal (Médaille commémorative de la guerre 1939–1945) with a Norvege - Norway - bar as issued to Norwegian Troops who were under French command. The French Second World War Commemorative Medal was established by decree of 21 May 1946. It was awarded to all French soldiers or civilians who fought against the Axis forces or their representatives. A distinctive feature of this medal is the large number of medal bars (23) to decorate its ribbon, denoting the campaigns in which its recipient participated. Among them was the “Norway” bar, awarded to soldiers who took part in the operations in that country between 12 April and 17 June 1940. This was the bar that was worn by the French soldiers who participated in the Narvik operations. The same medal and bar were issued to Norwegian soldier who were under French command during this operation. My asking-price is naturally intended per single medal and bar.
