Hi, Lukasz

Generally speaking, order of KPA foundation is a memorial order, it ought to be lower than national flag, even soldier honor. And red banner of 3 great revolution is also low in hierachy of NK orders.

Hi, All

Agree with Matthijs and William. DPRK orders made in USSR are always collectible.

Hi, Carol

The ribbon bar is:

First row: Order of KPA Foundation 60 Anniversary, Order of National Flag 2cl, Order of Red Banner of 3 Great Revolution

Second row: Order of Military Service 2cl, Order of National Flag 3cl, Order of Military Service 3cl

Third row: Order of Soldier Honor 2cl, Medal of Fatherland Liberation War, Medal of Military Merit

North Korea ribbon bar was often wore at the wearer's wish, not according to the regulation. This is a perfect evidence.

Tang Si

I agree with Gordon. I really don't like others.

Tang Si

Notice this picture, who knows what is the boat?

Tang Si

Yes, Ed. I found that one dealer in internet once sold one at $950 or some.

Tang Si

What is the badge for?

This badge is awarded to the splendid workers and farmers who has archieved to distinguish him self in Socialist Construction.

Tang Si

No futher comment?

Tang Si

Anyone cares to post opinion about this Hero Star?

William

Authentic. Though the condition is poor. Don't know why it is been flashed on the reverse. Now it is known the medal is silver gilt.

Tang Si

Once I have a pilot wing 1cl. It is like soviet pilot wing. Here is the picture of Cap Insignia of Military Pilot of KPAAF and civil aviation pilot.

Cholima Badge is the rarest badge of North Korea. And I was informed its price is high in international collection market. Here is the picture of Cholima badge once I had.

Tang Si

Sure, this is Type 3 - a Chinese made type.

The one which should be avoided at all costs...

Hi, William

Do you have evidence to prove that it is made in China? If you not, please do not say such word. All fake Mongolia orders are from their motherland!

Tang Si

God, You have seen Battushig?

Tang Si

Nice pics!! Especially the photoes about the orders~~

Did you get some nice items there?

Yours, Tang Si

Hi, Dear Bob

I have to say that this medal is not at my hand now. I just want to buy it and then sell it. It is on sale in a Chinese website.

Tang Si

Bob

I have post the pictures.

Tang Si

Hi, All

I have found a Soyombo Medal. I just want to ask the opinion of its authentivity.

Thanks for your comment!

Tang Si

Hi, Dear All

We Chinese PLA has a complicated award and badge system. Most badge are worn by some short time and awarded for once. Maybe no one knows what these ribbons stand for which badges exactly:( I think they are some qualification badge, trade badge, service badge, etc...

Tang Si

Hi, Dear Matthijs

Another nice collection!! But where is the repaired place. I can't see it in the picture.

Tang Si

Hi, Dear Ed

You are welcome!! Hope you have a nice new collection!!

Tang Si

Yi Ming Su, seen at the right.

Here is what I've found. A photo of Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il with his generals, during the military inspection of a chicken farm (!!!). Sorry for the quality of the photos - there must be something wrong with my scanner, I cannot use the descreening filter or the scan falls to pieces. Anyway, are you able to id the ribbons on these generals' tunics? Perhaps someone will know who these gentlemen are. Note that as far as Kim himself is easily recognizable, hardly anyone knows the people from his surrounding.

Probably the pronunciation is not precise.

2, Hian Che Ham, Seinor General, Minister of KPA Logistic.
