Partisan Medal, 2nd class, circa late 1940s - early 1950s.
Partisan Medal, 2nd class, circa late 1940s - early 1950s.
In brass; measures 32.0 mm in diameter; approx. 2.6 mm
thick; weighs 15.6 g without suspension
This variation has raised border around the edge on the
obverse. Also features "straight-nosed" portraits of Lenin
and Stalin;
Lenin's beard is not turned down at the tip. The hammer and
sickle emblem on the reverse does not have a small
projection over the edge of the sickle, above the handle
that is found on other versions of the medal.
Very fine to excellent overall condition. Shows a few small
oxidation spots on the obverse and reverse, none of them too
detractive. There is no significant wear, only a few tiny
scratches or contact marks that practically unnoticeable.
The raised details of the bas-relief portraits are
exceptionally well-preserved and crisp, essentially perfect.
A good amount of the original "gilt" mint luster is clearly
visible in recessed areas on both sides of the medal.
The medal comes a brass suspension device of late 1940s
model. The ribbon is relatively recent, showing only minor
use and perfectly clean. Overall, this is a very attractive
example of the Soviet WW2 Partisan Medal.
