Did you try to remove it ?
It looks like a date (05.05.04), a price (10 ?) and a code... Probably nothing of historic value. When did you get this medal ? Ch. |

So, it's consistent with the date. My guess would have been wrong if you had this medal since an earlier date than May 2004.
Cheers. Ch. |

Combat
I got this type 2 variation 3 medal today. It has an interesting plastic cover to protect the ribbon. There are only one tiny crack in the cover.
I think this will be the first medal in over 6 months! Can't believe I made it that long. :yow /Erik |

Nice U-shaped ring variation, :thumbsup
I have seen this plastic cover before, maybe to protect the ribbon against dirt. regards Andreas |

I think so too, that it was meant to keep the ribbon clean.
Thank You Erik |

Erik,
You are right, this plastic cover was used to protect the ribbon. I have even seen it on earlier rectangular suspension medals. Alexei |
