This is a Southwest African Police Star of Merit Medal. It is an exceptionally handsome brass cross, with its inscription in both Afrikaans.This is a very interesting medal, as it was awarded during South Africa's apartheid era occupation of the former German Southwest Africa, now Namibia. Essentially, it was awarded to occupation troops who we called Police, and did Police duties, but were really foreign occupiers on Namibian land. This allowed South Africa to take control of an...d run Namibia's fabulous diamond mines, which they worked with workers from the various "homelands." This is a beautiful medal, despite having a somewhat dark history. It has really beautiful enamel, and is extremely well designed and made. It is just over 4 inches in total height. I would rate it EF+.
