This medal for the Victory over Germany is in near mint condition with all details visible and full gold plating.
These post-war issues were awarded by a Voenkomat (Military Commissariat) at the veteran’s place of residence. The reasons for the late issue could vary but in most instances; the Voenkomat medals were “catch-up” awards to those who had taken part in the battle and then somehow overlooked by the awarding authorities during WW2 and in the immediate post-war years.
Awarded to Soviet service personnel who were on active service during The Great Patriotic War. Also awarded to some allied forces such as the post 9 September 1944 Bulgarian Armed Forces.
