Brass, 32.3 mm wide; weighs 17.5 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Late sub-variation of the Variation 1 featuring a "long" horizon. <[> In very fine to excellent condition. Both sides are free of significant wear showing only a few minuscule contact marks, some mild dings, and a single barely perceptible edge bump on the reverse at approx. 8 o'clock position. The raised details of the artwork and lettering are perfect and exceptionally crisp. There are some areas of mild tarnish along the edge, mostly on the reverse near the top, and a few tiny oxidation spots on the obverse, none of which is really detractive; the toning to the brass is overall nice and even.

Comes on an original WW2 era suspension, a two-layer model in brass with self-locking pin. The ribbon is old, likely original to the medal; although faded, it shows practically no wear. The connecting link appears to be original as well; its ends are still joined with solder. Overall, a beautiful example of the Variation 1 Leningrad Medal!
