German Africa Campaign Medal

WW2 German African Campaign Medal in zinc. This one is chewed up a little on back and missing ribbon. Appears to have been cleaned. Make an offer! 
 
The “Italo-German Campaign Medal in Africa” medal was designed by De Marchis and was instituted by the Italian Government to reward the achievements of the “Afrikakorps”. The medal was awarded only to German troops. Due to Italy’s withdrawal from the war and subsequent surrender, the wear of all Italian awards was prohibited in orders dated 29th March 1944.
