I picked this up this evening. It's obvious someone "painted it up" to make it even more special But what is it? Anyone know what the original finish was? It's it was just bare metal, I can apply a little paint remove to lift off the offending finish.

Here's the other side.

It's a civil long service medal. normally has a silver finish and a black enamel swazi. In good shape worth about $40-50

Thanks. Now that I know the finish, I'll try a little paint remover to clean off the white paint.
