Description
Medal for the Defense of Sevastopol rare Voenkomat
Medal for the Defense of Sevastopol
Rare sub-variation of the ‘Voenkomat’ series
Made of brass. It measures 32.1 mm in width, 37.0 mm in height including the eyelet and it weighs 15.0 grams without its suspension.
In good condition with medium overall wear. Most details of the raised areas are well preserved and both sides show several small dings and scratches. The brass suspension and ribbon are 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.
Rarest variation!
