German WWII Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery Award by S.H.u.Co-This is a nicely marked example for S.H.u.Co. It has 90% of the finish intact on the obverse, with the beautiful dark grey finish on the reverse mostly intact as well. There is slight wear to the gun details, but overall the details and toning are excellent. The pin setup works as intended. This is a gem!
