Shows unit stamp and signature of the commander of the 39th Separate Officer Reserves Battalion. Note a very early date of issue, guaranteeing that the document was awarded with a Variation 1 Victory over Germany Medal.

The document is in outstanding, excellent condition. There is only light age toning to the cover, no tears, stains or soiling. The hand-written text is fully legible. The most common of all WW2 Soviet award certificates, this document is in an uncommonly nice condition and is also among the earliest issued.
