Description
Medal for Bravery #193894
Made of solid silver. Measures 37.41 mm in diameter, 2.79 mm in thickness and 42.12 mm in height including its eyelet. The eyelet is 5.49 mm wide and the medal weighs 27.9 grams without its suspension.Â
In a fair, combat condition with medium overall wear. Some of the details of the higher laying parts like the rivets on the side of the tank and the canons have worn off but most are still visible. The lacquer filling the lettering is gone which is seen often with these early wartime medals. Its silver connection ring has been cut and the medal comes with a double layer steel suspension and old ribbon.
This medal was originally on a rectangular suspension and was replaced by a pentagon shaped one made of double layer steel to comply with the new 1943 regulations of wearing Soviet awards.
Solid research potential. Probably awarded during the 1st half of 1943
