    My latest acquisition has been this medal of merit sn. 1,075,741, which I believe corresponds to the first months of 1944, when the war has already changed in favor of Soviet interests, although at the cost of great suffering for the population and for the Red Army.

    In principle, I understand that everything seems correct, since the medal seems aged, the suspension is made of brass and the medal does not appear to have been repainted.

    Even according to my data, the medal should have been issued earlier than the Presidium of the Suprem Soviet USSR Decree of June 4, 1944 that introduced the procedure for awarding medals for length of service.

    It is a nice original I think. The seller, I recognise, is a good seller.

    "the medal should have been issued earlier than the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet USSR Decree of June 4, 1944 that introduced the procedure for awarding medals for length of service."
    Agreed. More than likely awarded for actions before that date.

    Thank you all for your comments.

    Yesterday when I opened this thread, I had the intention of mentioning that I had just read in the press that it had been the 81st anniversary of the start of the war in Europe, and I forgot it. The news of the start of the war was published in the newspaper "La Voz de Galicia", the most important in the spanish region where I live, on September 2, 1939. As a result of the development of the war in Europe, this medal of merit it ended up being granted.

    At that time, Spain had just ended a civil war, and had a government close to the German government. Even so, and despite the censorship in the media, the news of the start of the war in Europe on 09/2/1939 was reported in this newspaper with a certain idea of pacifism and neutrality.

    Interestingly, the newspaper clearly indicates that it was Germany who attacked first, and that if France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, it was as a consequence of the previous German attack on Poland. Any reader could sympathize with Poland.

    yes that suspension would not hold up on the tunic in combat.
