Description
Soviet Medal for Combat Merit #169091
Made of solid silver and lacquer. Measures 32.14 mm in diameter and 2.65 mm in thickness. The height of the medal is 36.95 mm including the eyelet and it weighs 20.7 grams without its suspension. This piece was originally awarded on a rectangular suspension which was replaced by a pentagon shaped one according to new 1943 regulations on wearing Soviet awards.
In nice overall condition with medium wear to the higher laying parts but with a fair amount of details still visible. There are several small dings and scratches and some of the original red lacquer is still present. Its connection ring has not been cut and the medal comes with an early double layer steel suspension and old ribbon.
Probably awarded during the winter of 1942-1943 so with excellent research potential!
