The original "gilt" mint luster is practically pristine and extremely bright on the obverse, while the reverse shows a very minimal amount of tarnish that adds character, no significant blemishes or oxidation spots. The medal comes on a period suspension device, a single-layer model in brass with integral catch of the pin. The perfectly preserved ribbon is old, possibly original to the medal. The connecting link appears to be of the period as well.
Overall, a superb example of one of the earliest Soviet post-war medals.
