Is a U-shaped ring at the 30th anniversary medal a rare variant?

I personnally have never seen such (myself or on the web) and I find it a little suspicious. But considering that I am just a novice, I cannot provide an authoritative answer. Sorry.

They were all round but most had a machined, rough surface on the front of the ring like this one.
I would wonder why someone would fake something issued in the millions but the answer, of course, is because they can.

It's not as dirty as you maybe thought.I have a USSR medal in my collection but the problem is that I don't have a clue what the medal stands for.Anybody who knows?

It is definitely not what you were thinking. :)

Medal for 30 years of the Armed Forces of the USSR

The idea here is to start a thread about the x0 year of the Soviet Armed Forces medal documents.

This example is something I just received; an extremely nice (I hope) 30 years medal doc. Nice and clean, without the more common water or wear damages aside from the usual corner and spine wear.

This is a heavily awarded medal no doubt, but after 60+ years these documents are not that common, at least in my surfings of the ebay. And this example, as it's nice and clear and with the attempt at decent caligraphy is, I think, a good example of immediate post-GPW documentiation.

Enough talk, what do you guys think? And you would be so kind as to help with the name and rank, please?

TIA
