In excellent condition. The raised details of the artwork are perfect and crisp on both sides. The obverse is practically free of wear with the exception of some microscopic contact marks that are completely invisible to the unaided eye. On the reverse, there are a few minuscule dings that are barely noticeable. There are no edge bumps. The original "gilt" mint luster is extremely well-preserved and bright in recessed areas throughout, having just a tiny amount of tarnish on the obverse near the bottom that is not detractive and actually adds character.

Comes on an original WW2 era suspension, a two-layer model in brass with self-locking pin. The ribbon is old, probably of the period; although faded, it remains clean and sound, adding a tremendous amount of personality to the medal. The connecting link has been cut but appears to be original or at least of the period. Overall, an outstanding example of the Variation 1 Leningrad Medal!
