Description
Tobruk Rats' Medal, hand made medal of copper, brass and aluminium with copper and brass ribbon, hand stamped 'Presented by Lord Haw-haw to the Tobruk Rats 1941' and appears to be numbered '8' on reverse but in fact the two marks which resemble the figure 8 are from the lugs holding the centrepiece, these similar marks also showing on the obverse. Suspension pin broken, otherwise very fine and very rare.
