The medal comes on an original suspension, a WW2 two-layer model in steel with a self-locking pin. The old, possibly original ribbon is
wrapped "in reverse" as is often the case. Although it shows soiling, the ribbon is sound and very attractive overall, adding a great deal of
character to the medal (nevertheless, in case the new owner prefers a brand-new ribbon, we will add a sufficient length of it on the side at
no extra charge.) The connecting link appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder. Overall, a very attractive wartime
example of the Stalingrad Medal.
