Medal for the Capture of Budapest, Variation 2 (U-shaped ring), 1940s - early 50s.

In brass; 32.2 mm wide. Excellent condition. There are no visible dings or scratches; raised details of artwork and lettering are perfect and extremely crisp on both sides. The finish is nice and uniform, with good amount of original "gilt" mint luster still clearly visible in recessed areas, especially on the reverse and eyelet. There are a few small blemishes on the reverse that do not really detract from the overall appearance of the medal. Comes on original suspension device in brass. The old ribbon shows modest amount of wear on the edges but is still sound, clean and very attractive overall (we will include a separate brand-new ribbon at no extra charge at buyer's request.)
