A beautiful Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten was awarded to individuals who served on the German Eastern Front during 15 November 1941 to 15 April 1942. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc base that has been silver washed, blackened and lacquered. The round shaped obverse depicts the early national closed winged eagle clutching a stagnant swastika in its talons, in front of a laurel wreath branch and below an M35 pattern helmet and a model 24 grenade. The reverse reads: "Winterschlacht Im Ostem 1941/42" (Winter Battle in the East 1941/42), which is above a crossed sword and laurel leaf and berry branch and below that same helmet and grenade. To the top is an internal loop and unmarked ring. Accompanying the award is a full length, (12.25") of original red, white and black rayon ribbon. It measures approximately 1 7/16 inches wide by 1 5/8 inches tall. This piece is excellent retaining a beautiful finish!
