\nSoviet medal for the Capture of Vienna\u00a0<\/b>variation<\/b><\/span> 4 (Voenkomat)<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Medal for the Capture of Vienna: measures 32.18 mm in width, 37.03 mm in height (including the eyelet) and weighs 16.0 gram without its suspension.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This medal is in pristine condition with perfect details and almost all gold plating still present. It comes with a uncut connection ring and aluminium suspension.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This medal is one of the post-war issues that were 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; the Voenkomat medals were “catch-up” awards to those who had taken part in the battle and then somehow overlooked by the awarding authorities during WW2 and in the immediate post-war years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lovely piece and next to impossible to upgrade!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Awarded to Soviet service personnel who took part in the capture of Vienna between 16 March and 13 April 1945.<\/em><\/p>\n
