Description
Medal for the Liberation of Prague
Voenkomat Variation
Made of brass. Measures 32.02 mm in width and 36.97 mm in height including the eyelet and it weighs 15.5 grams without its suspension.
In problem free condition with crisp details and much of its original gold-like luster still present. The raised areas of the medal show light wear only and few dings and scrachtes. The aluminium suspension is time period to the medal and its connection ring has not 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.
