Description
Medal for the Liberation of Warsaw
Variation 4 (Voenkomat)
Made of gold plated brass. Measures 32.13 in diameter, 37.05 mm in height and weighs 15.5 grams without its suspension.
The medal is in excellent condition with crisp details and most gold plating present. There are few traces of wear on either sides and its suspension is time period. Its connection ring has not been cut.
These post-war issues 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.
