Condition report:
Light foxing and scattered brown age spots are visible on the white ground, primarily to the central area and around the medal graphics (photos 2, 3, 4, and 5). There is minor darkening toward the outer edges of the paper (photo 2). The wooden frame shows surface scuffs, scratches, and small indentations consistent with use (photos 1, 7, and 8). The impressed lettering on the top edge of the frame remains largely legible despite surface wear (photo 6). The reverse paper backing is generally intact but shows minor fraying and small tears at the taped edges (photo 9).
