WW2 Soviet Konigsberg medal

[DAMO]

Hey gents,

Here i have a WW2 medal for the capture of Koenigsberg which looks good to me but I'm not an expert so some clarification would be great!



Thanks.

There are no experts here, only more or less experienced collectors. It appears the ribbon has been replaced. The suspension is an original period steel two-piece type. The medal appears genuine, but if the suspension ring, between the suspension itself and the ring on top of the medal, has been cut, I would tend to think an original replacement medal and suspension combination. I can not tell from your photographs. Regardless, yours is a nice example, in my opinion.

thanks for the info mate and the ring doesn't appear 'cut' but theres a gap (ring is made of 1 brass stick/rod) not sure if thats good or not
