I am looking for an image of the Order of Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Terengganu, or at least a description of what its ribbon looks like. If somebody has any information, please share.

Hello!

One question about medal called "Mukti Taraka". What its correct name in English and award criteria? At the Antonio ribbon's website this medal named "Campaign Star", but literally translation from Bengali is "Star of Freedom" or "Star of Liberation".

By the way, this topic http://medalcollectors.com/forum/showthrea...mp;pagenumber=1 contains many photos of Bangladesh awards. Thanks for Brian!

Regards, IVB.

Hello, redcross!

Had you received this Order? Can you show it here, please?

Only information I found about this award:

Order of Daniel Alcides Carrion established by DECRETO SUPREMO No 8 "DGS" 20 DE Julio de 1957 "Se crea la Orden "Daniel A. Carri?n", en homenaje al centenario del nacimiento de Daniel A. Carri?n", and was modified by DECRETO SUPREMO No 00132-62 3 de Setiembre de 1969 "Se modifica el Decreto Supremo No 8 "DGS" de 20 de Julio de 1957 referente al Consejo de la Orden "Daniel A. Carri?n".

Unfortunately, there is no these Decrees in online Peruvian legislation resources.

Thank all of you for comments.

Photos of awards in wear:

Any family group is nice to see. This one is especially nice. Thanks for sharing.

I find the mixture of Soviet and post-Soviet (neo-Tsarist) imagery interesting, as is the fairly haphazard mixing of Soviet badges with post-Soviet documents. Despite what we are told to think, the hammers and sickles didn't vanish overnight?

Yes, some Soviet badges and medals with new Russian documents were awarded long time. Often real badge and picture in the document are different.
