In very fine to excellent condition. The medallion has tiny, nearly unnoticeable contact marks and a few minuscule dings to the raised edge but no significant bumps, scratches or other glaring flaws. The raised details of the artwork and lettering are extremely well-preserved and crisp on both sides. Brass exhibits an attractive even patina, while the original "gilt" mint luster is clearly visible in recessed areas throughout. There are some small oxidation spots, mostly on the lettering on the obverse, but none are very detractive.

Comes on an original WW2 era suspension, a two-layer model in brass with a self-locking pin. The ribbon is old, likely original to the medal; although faded and showing wear at the edges, it remains clean and sound, adding a tremendous amount of personality to the medal. The connecting link has been cut but appears to be original or at least of the period. Overall, a very attractive example of the Variation 1 Leningrad Medal!
