Medal for Distinguished Service in Guarding the State Border, post-Soviet transitional issue, 1992-94.

In German silver; measures 32.0 mm wide; weighs 17.5 g. The reverse is identical to the Soviet era Border Guard medals: the only difference is the absence of the bottom line with the letters "CCCP" on the reverse.

In excellent condition. With the exception of a couple of tiny dings to the raised edge that are practically unnoticeable to the naked eye, the medal shows no visible wear. The raised details are pristine. There is very attractive even patina to the silver finish creating an illusion that the medal is made of solid silver. There are no blemishes or oxid

In excellent condition. With the exception of a couple of tiny dings to the raised edge that are practically unnoticeable to the naked eye, the medal shows no visible wear. The raised details are pristine. There is very attractive even patina to the silver finish creating an illusion that the medal is made of solid silver. There are no blemishes or oxidation spots. The old, possibly original ribbon is immaculately clean.

This variation was issued for only a brief period, until the introduction of the Russian Federation awards of entirely new design in 1995.
