In brass; measures 32.1 mm wide; approx. 2.4-2.5 mm thick at the edge; weighs 16.3 g not including the suspension and connecting link. This version of the medal features a raised border around the edge of the obverse and "snub-nosed" portrait of Lenin with a beard turned down at its tip. The hammer and sickle emblem on the reverse has a small projection over the edge of the sickle above the handle.
In excellent condition. There are a few tiny contact marks visible under a magnification but practically no wear noticeable to the naked eye.
There are no bumps, nicks, or significant scratches. The raised details of bas-relief portraits and lettering are extremely well-preserved and
crisp. The brass exhibits attractive toning and only very mild tarnish that adds character, no serious blemishes or oxidation. The original
"gilt" mint luster is clearly visible in recessed areas on both sides. Comes on original WW2 suspension device, a two-layer model in steel
with self-locking pin. The perfectly preserved ribbon, albeit more recent than the medal itself, shows age and mild wear. The connecting link
appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder. Overall, this is a superb example of the Partisan Medal 2nd cl. - extremely
hard to find in such an outstanding condition.
