Tal,

Thanks, it’s great and very interesting medal.
I did not see it before.
One month ago I also bought a very interesting Israeli medal with document “Jewish fighters in war with nazi. 55 years Victory in WW2."

I will also try to place a picture soon. I am having some technical problems with sizing the scans and placing them on the Forum

Tal, where there any awards for veterans for 60 years Victory in WW2 in Israel?

Eric.

Note the ribbon - it is the same design as the official medal, but this medal is issued by the veterans organizations - it is NOT official Israeli medal.
