Description
Soviet Medal for Combat Merit #169981
Made of solid silver. Measures 32.23 mm in diameter and 2.71 mm in thickness. The height of the medal measures 36.41 mm (including the eyelet) and it weighs 21.5 grams without its suspension. The silver suspension measures 25.35 mm in width at its narrowest part and 31.70 at its widest point.
The medal is in a nice, about average condition with several small dings and scratches and medium wear on its higher laying parts. Over half of the red lacquer filling the lettering is still present although some is covered by some dirt. The silver suspension is original as is the brass screw, the nut, the plate holding the red ribbon and the screw tightening it all up. The connection ring has not been cut.
Most likely awarded during the winter of 1942-1943
