Sometimes they say that there are color yellow variation of ribbon, but it`s not a variation..

It is simply usual but colour faded ribbon.

Type 3 “On green ribbon in the balsa box”

The medal itself is practically identical to type 2 (although it has one pretty stable distinguishing feature - spotfin reverse).

Only the box is different.

Type 4 “On green ribbon in silver”

Another variation of post-war replica (and more scarce than previous two).

This one was made in silver in the 80s (maybe even earlier and later).

In addition to the unusual material this type has unique ribbon and box.

Here it is.

Full set with inlay.
