Description
Soviet medal for the Capture of Budapest
WW2 variation 1a without a raised rim on its reverse and an old plastic protection cover
Made out of gold plated brass. It measures 32.12 mm in diameter, 37.59 mm in height including its eyelet and the medal weighs 16.0 gram without its suspension.
This medal for the Capture of Budapest is in excellent condition with its details crisp and some of the gold plating still present. There are relatively few dings and scratches and even the higher laying parts like the bottom leaves show light wear only. The owner sure was proud of this medal and took good care of it. He attached a plastic cover to protect the ribbon which is therefore in stunning condition and fully original.
A truly wonderful example!
Awarded to Soviet service personnel who took part in the battle of Budapest between 20 December 1944 and 15 February 1945.
