Description
Medal for the Defense of Sevastopol
First (sub) variation without a raised rim on its obverse and a larger distance between the ends of the naval cap tally
Made of gilded brass. Measures 32.26 mm in width, 37.64 mm in height, including the eyelet and it weighs 16.8 grams without its suspension.
In excellent, well above-average condition for an early wartime award. It shows several but relatively few small dings and scratches on both sides, with details -including the raised areas- remaining clearly visible. The double-layer steel suspension is period-correct to the medal.
Earliest production, hard to find in this condition
This medal was awarded to all participants in the defence of Sevastopol. Both to soldiers and civilians, who took part in the defence of Sevastopol during its siege by German forces.
