1982 SOUTH ATLANTIC Medal

This is an exquisite replica of the 1982 South Atlantic Medal and is ideal for the collector or as a replacement.

This medal is awarded to men and women who have served at least 30 days service, continuous or accumulated, in the South Atlantic during the Falklands War of 1982. Specifically, this service must have been carried out between 7 Degrees South and 60 Degrees South. It also had to have been completed between 2nd April and 14th June, 1982.

The front of the medal features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with the reverse featuring the emblem of the Falkland Islands. It is supported by the ribbon featuring the sea green, blue and white ribbon.

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 in the country (UK Medal Office Approved), so you know that in terms of quality these cannot be beaten.

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.
