The solid silver suspension measures 33.09 mm in width at its top and 28.51 in height. Its eyelet is 4.73 mm wide. The reverse shows the stamped letters ‘No’ followed by the engraved serial number ‘2785’. The minimum known serial number for this variation is 44 and the maximum 15685.
In an excellent, above average condition with its details crisp. Even the higher laying parts like the lettering on its reverse and the raised hammer and sickle are with light wear only. The enamel is beautiful and without flaking or repairs. The silver suspension is to the medal although its ‘MONDVOR’ screwplate appears to be a replacement. The medal shows a light patina on both sides and its connection ring has not been cut. The brass screw has not been shortened and there have been no repairs.
