I would say October/November, 1944, and this may, in fact, be one of the many November 3, 1944 long service awards. Research will determine the exact date for sure. Regardless, I love that wear! This order was worn!

I find intriguing the fact that it can be wondered if the wear was due to exposure to combat conditions, or civilian conditions.
It seems to me that a lot of these men often did wear their awards on their civilian clothes also...

The silver alloy is quite soft, so with cleanings and wearing of some awards I have seen this degree of wear would, I think, be expected.
