Great Fatherland Liberation War Commemorative Medal 1950-1953.
Here is the Great Fatherland Liberation War 1950-1953 Commemorative Medal (위대한조국해방전쟁을기념메달 1950-1953) awarded to veterans of the War in Korea. The Medal is constructed from Copper-Nickel and the design features two soldiers advancing with a PPSH-41 Type 49 under the national banner, supported by a T-34 of the 105th Tank Brigade and a pair of Mikoyan-Gurevich fighters (probably supposed to be a MIG-15). There are two variations of this Medal due to the design being simplified. The original variation has a stream of what seems to be smoke just over the horizon, a feature that is omitted in the later Type. The first type also has different shaped holes on the barrel of the PPSH. This is the second variation of the first type, noticeable by the slanted ᅮ in the first character group.
I chose this particular Medal to photograph as it shows (insect?) damage to the Ribbon and the corrosion on the suspension due to a prolonged period in a poor "atmosphere".
