Medal for Victory over Germany, Variation 2, late 1940s - early 50s.
In brass, 32.1 mm wide. Features a rounded eyelet with a flat profile struck as a single piece with the rest of the medallion.
In outstanding, excellent condition. The medal is completely free of significant wear of any kind, has only a few microscopic contact marks and scratches that can be found under a 10x magnification while being completely invisible to the naked eye. The raised details are perfect and exceptionally crisp. There is only a very mild patina, no blemishes or significant oxidation; the original "gilt" mint luster is beautifully preserved throughout. The medal comes on an original brass suspension device with a well-preserved, clean vintage ribbon showing only minimal wear. Overall, an unusually nice example of the otherwise common WW2 victory medal.
