 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This medal is in excellent, well above average condition. There are relatively few\u00a0 dings and scratches on either side and all details are crisp; even the higher laying parts like the soldiers and light tower. A fair amount of the gold plating is still present and there have been no repairs. The double layer steel suspension and ribbon are time period to the medal and its connection ring has not been cut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the better examples we have handled. Rare in this condition<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This medal was awarded to all participants in the defence of Odessa. Both to soldiers and civilians, who took part in the defence of Odessa during its siege by German forces.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
