Afghanistan, Medal for Good Service, 1980-1992.
In brass; measures 37.0 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.0 mm wide; weighs 16.8 g not including the suspension and connecting link.
In very fine to excellent condition, far better than the average for this medal. The medal is completely free of dings, scratches or any other noticeable wear. The raised details are perfect and crisp. The original "gilt" mint luster is nicely preserved, especially on the recessed areas of the obverse. The reverse has some blemishes that are not too detractive. Comes with a scarce brand-new original ribbon.
Soviet-made like nearly all Afghan

Soviet-made like nearly all Afghan awards of the Communist period, this medal is similar in design and significance to the Soviet Medal for Combat Service (aka Medal for Military Merit). Awarded to servicemen for actions that involved severe life-threatening risk and contributed to success of combat operations.
