Medal for the Liberation of Warsaw, Variation 3 ("Voenkomat"), circa 1970s- 80s issue.

In brass; 32.0 mm wide. In excellent, near mint condition. The details are pristine and flawless; there is no wear visible to the unaided eye. The original "gilt" mint luster is exceptionally well-preserved and spotless, although it has acquired very attractive and even age toning. Just like the medallion, the ribbon shows age but is free of wear or soiling. Overall, a superb example of the "Voenkomat" medal.

This medal is one of the post-war issues that were typically awarded by a Voenkomat (Military Commissariat) at the veteran's place of residence. The reasons for the late issue could vary, but in most instances, Voenkomat medals were "catch-up" awards to those who took part in the battle and then got somehow overlooked by the awarding authorities during WW2 and in the immediate post-war years.
