Original WW2 Soviet Medal for Defense of Leningrad 1942 - Russian Award

Description

This is an original, WW2 period Soviet Armed Forces Medal for the Defense of Leningrad in very good condition. I am not an expert on Soviet or Russian medals so am listing this based on the limited information I have to hand. This item came in a small collection of Soviet medals, many of which are suitably aged and worn to indicate (in my eyes) as authentic.
Please check out my other Ebay listings for more interesting, rare and unusual military insignia, berets, uniforms and field kit. I have been collecting international militaria for well over thirty years, focusing primarily on camouflage combat uniforms, elite unit berets, and special forces/airborne/elite unit insignia, so you can bid with confidence. As founder/director of the International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS), long-time member of Chute & Dagger (airborne/special forces insignia society), and creator of Camopedia.org, the international camouflage pattern database, I am always pleased to hear from other collectors with similar interests who wish to share information, help with identification, arrange trades, etc. All items in my auctions are described accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and are believed to be genuine unless specifically stated otherwise. All items are sold as is, and all sales are final. Contact me if you have further questions, but please be polite and articulate if you want an answer. Thanks for looking and best of luck!
