    1. Both of them are Bulgarian. The badge on the left - "The fighter against fascism and capitalism", on the right - "For people's liberty".
    2. Wow. That's great. Very aristocratic and very self-ironic at the same time . Thanks, Uwe.
    3. Hi Uwe, Thank for your explanation. But I am still confused by the Arabic inscription on the crescent (of course if it is really Arabic). To be honest I can't see any direct connection between the German society and the Arabic script and symbolism.
    4. Gentlemen, several pages ago I posted this pair: I thought the star on the right was the decoration of the Sultanat Kathiri (South Arabia). But I was wrong. It turned out to be just a carnival German decoration. Ok, that star isn't from Kathiri - but maybe this one is? Can somebody help to identify this decoration? Because Emedals couldn't))
    5. The badge of the guards units (initially established in the Soviet Union in 1942). 1st row: USSR - modern Russia (three types) 2nd row: Belarus - Kazakhstan - Tajikistan (the National guard and the football club) 3rd row: Russian-sponsored unrecognized "republics" (Transnistria, Donetsk, Abkhazia) - communist Cuba
    6. That's Pakistani Tamgha-i-Khidmat (Medal of Military Service).
    7. These are the classic Japanese orders (both established in 1888): And these are the current Turkish orders (since 2013): The modern Turkish designers seem to be deeply inspired by the old Japanese school: A little bit unexpected intercultural exchange, hmm?
    8. When Iran wasn't yet the Islamic republic, it could afford such loans Panama - Iran

      New Angola medal

      Wow! Dear Antonio, thanks for sharing. Frankly speaking I see the Angolan order for first time ever. Thanks again and Happy New year!
    12. Interesting. They've COMPLETELY preserved the Portuguese design.
    13. Twice again back to Africa: Senegal - Djibouti
    14. I find the design of these orders quite typical for the Persian decorations But the crown is totally different.
    15. Once again back to Africa: Comoros - Liberia - Guinea
    16. It seems the Mongols finally are going to change the design of the state awards (after 25 years with the new coat-of-arms and without the comunism). I can not read Mongolian but the pictures on the presidential website are quite understandable. http://president.mn/content/11792
    17. Bavarian royal order of the Crown (XIX century) - Colombian military medal "Fe en la causa" (current) The same pair (#186) but the better picture, so the similarity is more obvious and convincing
    18. Stars and Stripes Stars and Bars Stars and Maps! Bulgaria - USA (Alaska) -- Djibouti - Burkina Faso
    19. Ukraine vs anti-Ukraine: Order of Bohdan Khmelnitsky (Ukraine) - Order of the Military valour (Novorossia - ephemeral separatist quasi-state on the south-east of Ukraine)
