Medal Mérite Sportif 1939 - gold

This lapel ribbon belongs to the Belgian honorary distinction series “Mérite Sportif – Sportverdienste” and represents the Gold grade. It was awarded to athletes and sports officials who achieved exceptional merits, marking the highest level of recognition within this decoration.

The lapel ribbon is made of high-quality moiré ribbon in the official colors of the medal: a central golden stripe flanked by green bands. The ribbon is folded into a triangular shape, as traditionally worn on the lapel of a uniform or suit.

The mounting is executed on a metal base that slides through the lapel buttonhole. At the back, the ribbon is securely fastened by a foldable metal part. This system allows for elegant and discreet wear, without the need for additional pins or clasps.

Thanks to its authentic craftsmanship and historical significance, this lapel ribbon is not only a distinguished badge of wear but also a collectible item highlighting Belgium’s sporting tradition.
