Medal for Meritorious Labor during the Great Patriotic War, Variation 1, circa 1945-47.
In copper; 32.2 mm wide; weighs 17.5 g without the suspension and connecting link. Features separate eyelet soldered to the medallion.
In excellent, near mint condition. The raised details are perfect on both sides; in particular, there is none of the usual wear to the high points of Stalin's bas-relief portrait. The toning is perfectly even, without blemishes or oxidation spots. Includes original late-1940s suspension device, a two-layer model in brass and steel with an integral catch of the pin. The old, probably original ribbon is perfectly preserved and clean. The connecting link appears to be of the period. A truly superb example of the Variation 1 "Home Front" medal - literally impossible to upgrade.
