Comes with everything pictured, this all came from the same estate. The box appears to be a grease order of the Phoenix award case for the medal. It’s an older box, so it’s probably from the 1920s to 1940s era. The box does have some wear from age in the form of chippi ng of the black outer case cover, and the hinges are starting to get a little weak and wobbly. Both ribbons came inside the box, the orange one appears to be for the medal. Please ask any questions and thank you.
