Very nice!

What is the date of the medal?

Is that a photo of the recipient?

If I remember well this one came from Ebay. That Ebay seller adds random photos to random medals so none of that sellers items have links with photo and award.

The artillery sergeant in the image certainly does not appear to be wearing this particular example (his is rather more raddled than this one - unless he replaced the ribbon, of course), but either way it is certainly another fine addition to your collection, SovPah!

All the best,
Bob

Bob, look at the connecting ring. On the photo is a 1st variant seperate soldered ring and the medal itself is a 2nd variant so-called shovel shaped connecting ring. There's the big difference already

Hi Nick,

I am already checking with TSAMO. It's from 1945 if I am correct. The photo does not belong to it.

Hi Bob,

I just added the photograph to make it nicer.

Best regards,

Hi Marcel, Both items were purchased separately by me from two different local dealers (Both defiantly don't use Intenet at all). Agree 100% with "That eBay seller adds random photos to random ...".

Is it common for sellers to add a document to a medal? Example: They buy a random Budapest Document, and put it with a random Budapest Medal, not matching the document.

Yes.
