Soviet WW2 War Veteran Committee SKVV HONOR AWARD BADGE Medal ORIGNL A+Condit’n

Description

Award Medal (“Honor Badge”) of the Soviet War Veterans Committee, issued in 1970s-80s to a participant of WW2.
This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL award made during the Soviet period, not a post-Soviet manufacture or a replica!
The medal is very nicely made! Unlike most other Soviet veteran awards, it’s in Brass rather than light weight metal, with nice lacquer finish and “cold” red enamel.  Medallion measures about 31 mm wide. Its obverse features the monument to WW2 Soviet soldier in the Berlin’s Treptower Park. The reverse has inscription “Honor Badge of SKVV (Soviet War Veterans Committee”.  There is raised logo “LMD” (Leningrad Mint) on the reverse of the suspension device.
The medal is in SUPERB condition. The details and finishes are perfect (there may be a tiny contact mark or two, but no significant wear visible to the naked eye.) The pin attachment is intact and fully functional. Please note: we have a few in stock (that’s why we are able to offer it at BARGAIN PRICE!) If you order, we will select for you a piece in the same condition as you see in the photo from our available inventory.
Unlike the typical WW2 Veteran Pins, the SKVV Honor Badge was awarded only to most distinguished WW2 vets and those veterans that took active part in social life (such as giving patriotic lectures to school children.) Like the other Veteran badges, SKVV medals were NEVER available for sale. Original Soviet veteran badges and medals are fun to collect if you are interested in military history. Moreover, a correct badge can be a nice addition to a WW2 medal group or even an individual researched decoration and will bring extra dimension and interest to a collector’s display.
