Silver, lacquer; measures 36.6 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.1 mm in width; weighs 18.5 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Features U-shaped eyelet.

Excellent condition. The fragile red lacquer in the letters is nearly perfect: there is just a single tiny chip to the leftmost part of the last letter "P" which is practically invisible without magnification. This is very uncommon, as the red lacquer is usually completely missing or significantly damaged on the medals of the period. The medallion is completely free of nicks, significant dings, or other noticeable wear; the details of the artwork and lettering are very perfect and crisp.

The medal comes on an original suspension of Lte-1940s type, a single-layer model brass. The perfectly preserved, immaculately clean ribbon is old, likely original to the medal. The connecting link also appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder.
