Gentlemen,
I do not believe it's a reissue document, because a reissue document would still indicate the original date of award.
I was under the impression that long delays between the original recommendation for the award and the actual Ukaz were common for WWII period. We all know that some veterans are still receiving their combat awards.
I thought I'd clarify - I do not believe there is something wrong with the medal or the document, I just think it's unusual that a medal with a fairly low serial number was awarded this late.
