Description
Soviet Medal for the Defense of Odessa Variation 1 WW2
Medal for the Defense of Odessa: made of gilded brass. Measures 32.29 mm in width, 37.50 mm in height including its eyelet and weighs 16.8 gram without its suspension.
This medal is in excellent, well above average condition. There are virtually no dings and scratches on either side and all details are crisp; even the higher laying parts like the soldiers and light tower. Almost all of the gold plating is still present and there have been no repairs. The double layer steel suspension and ribbon are time period to the medal and its connection ring has not been cut.
One of the best -if not the best- pieces we have handled. Rare in this condition!
This medal was awarded to all participants in the defence of Odessa. Both to soldiers and civilians, who took part in the defence of Odessa during its siege by German forces.
