Silver, enamels; measures 48.2 mm in height incl. eyelet, 46.1 mm in width; weighs 22.5 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Late variation featuring rotating tool-engraved serial number. This is a belated decoration to one of the surviving WW2 veterans. Although often issued as a part of country-wide campaigns, post-war decorations like this were usually awarded based on real WW2 exploits, in many cases to severely wounded veterans who had no other decorations. (We have not attempted to research it through the Russian military archives, so this piece still has a very good research potential.)

In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is perfect, the raised details exceptionally crisp. Both sides have only a few tiny contact marks barely noticeable to the naked eye, otherwise pristine. Very attractive toning to silver throughout. Comes on original two-layer suspension device in steel with a nicely preserved old ribbon. The connecting link appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder.
