This one fell through the cracks somehow. Ribbon is much more a brick-ish brown "off burgundy" color than red.

The general design would lead one to think it was another of the occupational "Distinctions" but it bears the Council of State reverse.

?Muchas gracias to the passers-through-walls and all their spooky friends and associates!

My example of this Medal arrived today,

and another variation comes to light.

The Medal is in fact the same but it has the more scanner friendly Matt finish.

Also the Medal ribbon lighter, the Medal ribbon bar is even brighter red, green and yellow.

I'll scan and post asp.

Regards Eddie.

There MUST be some "meaning" to the dramatic differences in quality of manufacture!

Here is the Matt version of the award

And the reverse, notice the different style and colour of the ribbon. Also the pin mount on the ribbon bar could indicate a different maker
