This is correct. Just turn it around so the 'Jongwe' (Independence) medal is in front. The red stripe on the RGSM is worn towards the inside.

Oh yes... and as a matter of interest the incoming Zimbabwe regime were not going to be dictated to by colonial convention with regard to ribbon width so instead of the usual 33mm they went for 38mm. You can't make this stuff up.

Hi all,

Here is one of my new bars what I got. It is nice to pick up something "unusual" (if its cheap ) and then start checking out what it is actually.

Anyway, looks like this time I scooped ribbon bar from Rhodesia - Zimbabwe.

Unfortunately pin is broken and gone but I still like it.

1. Rhodesia General Service Medal 1965-1979

2. Zimbabwe Independence Medal, 1980 (I think this ribbon should be first actually)
