Hello, nice bird. Raul
Nice - but odd how the brass ring seems to have rust on it? ( Maybe some metal wire had been tied to it in the past that corroded? )

It's in unissued condition , but as we all know the ravages of time gets to us all. The rust us where the ring lies under the medal.
I'm probably going to let this piece go also. Time to cut the collection down a bit
It is an original late period medal made of zinc. For this reason, it has lost the bronze bath that covered it ... with the passage of time, the zinc ends up absorbing this bronze bath.
I am not a friend of bronze decorations but the envelope is very interesting to me
