Attractive French, 'Troisieme Republic-period', so-called: 'Dardanelles'-islands campaign-medal (ie. 'Médaille Commémorative de l'Expédition du Dardanelles') that comes mounted on its period-ribbon

This is an attractive French, 'Troisieme Republic-period'- (ie. to be dated around 1916) so-called: 'Expedition to the Dardanelles'-campaign-medal (ie. 'Médaille Commémorative de l'Expédition du Dardanelles' that took place in 1915/1916) being a neat bronze-toned example that comes mounted on its period-ribbon as issued and stored for decades. These attractive campaign-medals were instituted in 1916 and were produced by the famous French-based 'Arthus Bertrand'-company. The piece on offer here is a non-maker-marked example that retains fine, pronounced detail as to be expected: it came mounted onto its original ribbon (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and with certainty not that commonly encountered! - French- (ie. naval-related) campaign-medal!
