Medal for the Capture of Vienna

 

Variation 3 ‘Voenkomat’

 

 

Made out of gilded brass. Measures 32.06 mm in width, 37.11 mm in height including its eyelet and weighs 16.4 grams without its suspension.

 

In superb condition with perfect details and much of its original luster still present. The raised parts of the medal show few traces of wear and its brass suspension is time period to the medal.  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.

 

Awarded to Soviet service personnel who took part in the capture of Vienna between 16 March and 13 April 1945.
