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 bright and completely spotless. The vintage ribbon is pristine. 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 authorities during WW2 and in the immediate post-war years.
