») was a Soviet military medal awarded for "combat action resulting in a military success", "courageous defense of the state borders", or "successful military and political training and preparation". It was created on October 17, 1938 by the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. Like the Medal "For Courage", its status was revised to prevent the medal from being given for years of service (a practice that was rampant in the USSR) rather than actual bravery during a battle. Comes on original suspension device. Complete with the hexagon nut, rectangular back plate in silver-plated brass, and mint-marked brass screw plate. The screw post is of full length, well over 9 mm measured from the rectangular back plate.

The connecting link appears to be original as well and although twisted from the weight of the medallion, remains sound; its ends are still joined with solder. Overall, a well-preserved and attractive Type 1 medal, showing a great amount of character.
