Description
Medal for the Liberation of Prague
Voenkomat Variation
Made of gold plated brass. Measures 32.09 mm in width and 37.26 mm in height including the eyelet and it weighs 15.8 gram without its suspension.
In great condition with perfect details and all gold plating still present. Even the higher laying parts of the medal on both sides show light wear only. The brass suspension is time period to the medal and its connection ring has been cut.
This medal is one of the post-war issues that 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.
