Description

Product overview

The Bronze National Defence Medal (Medaille de la Défense Nationale - Bronze) is a French military decoration for service members who have shown notable commitment to national defence. It is suited for collectors of military surplus, museums, veterans, and anyone interested in historical military insignia or duty and police memorabilia.

Definition: the Bronze National Defence Medal is a 35 mm commemorative medal awarded for distinguished service and commitment to France's national defence, established by decree on 21 April 1982.

Main features

Well-crafted and symbolic, this medal reflects French military history and official iconography.

  • Diameter: 35 mm.
  • Obverse: effigy of the French Republic with the inscription "République Française".
  • Reverse: inscriptions framing a Phrygian cap, a historical symbol of liberty and independence.
  • Suspension: swivelling ring to attach the medal to its ribbon.
  • Ribbon: 37 mm wide, dark red with a vertical ultramarine blue stripe.
  • Established by Defence Minister Charles Hernu, decree dated 21 April 1982.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: keep the medal as a display, collector’s item, or part of a uniform presentation for historical or commemorative purposes. It is not protective equipment or a functional tool.

In most cases, buyers use this medal for display in cabinets, on uniform mounts for reenactment or museum exhibits, or as part of a military surplus collection that includes tactical and duty memorabilia. Handle the medal carefully to preserve its finish and historical detail.

Care and notes

Store and present the medal in a dry, stable environment and avoid abrasive cleaning to preserve details and patina.

  • Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent corrosion or fading.
  • Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
  • Check mounting hardware (swivel ring and ribbon) for secure attachment before display.
  • Limited availability: this is a sought-after item for collectors—purchase promptly if you wish to secure one.
