Hailing from the 1961 World Ice Hockey Championships, we have a bronze medal won by the Soviet Union, with the original recipient lost to time. A classic design of a goaltender minding his net with “1961” below graces the obverse of this attractive medal, encompassed by the words “Championnat du Monde” and “World Championships”. The reverse shows the IIHF logo with “International Ice Hockey Federation” in English and French. At 2” in diameter, the medal remains in excellent condition, with light wear to the surface in spots. A vintage box (not the original) currently houses the keepsake, with handwritten Russian text on the lid. The 1961 World Ice Hockey Championships was the 28th edition of the Ice Hockey World Championships. The tournament was held in Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland from March 1 to March 12, 1961. The games were played outdoors on a frozen pool, a glare made it hard for players to see well, however photographers were able to get aerial pictures from the diving board.
