Description
Medal for the Defense of Leningrad
Variation 1b with a ‘Long Horizon’
Engraved Румянцева Н. И. on its suspension
Made of brass. Measures 32.23 mm in width, 37.83 mm in height including its eyelet and weighs 16.8 grams without its suspension.
In excellent condition with its details perfectly visible and light overall wear. Both sides show few dings and scratches and most of the original luster is still present. Its connection ring has been cut and it’s ribbon is incorrectly folded which is seen more often with early awarded medals.
The brass suspension bears a fine engraving of the name Румянцева Н. И. (Rumyantseva N.I.), most likely inscribed by the awardee or on her behalf.
Awarded to all Soviet military and civilians who participated in the defense of Leningrad between September 1941 and January 1944.
