A State of Connecticut World War I “For Service” medal, dated 1917–1918, with its original-style ribbon. 

The medal features a classic WWI patriotic design—Lady Liberty with a palm branch beside an American eagle with “WORLD WAR 1917–1918” (as shown). A great piece for collectors of state-issued WWI medals and Connecticut militaria.

Historical note: Connecticut’s WWI state service medal was authorized after the war (often cited as authorized June 6, 1929), and awarded to eligible Connecticut citizens who served during WWI.
