Especially for Megan: the star of Pribina (WW2):

I'm almost sure there's the same award. But once I met very strange star of Czechoslovakian order of the White Lion - I think it was made from the Pribina' star.

You're right. I am of the same opinion. But I'm sure it isn't only "London's case". What about this couple France-Armenia?

Benin or Costa Rica?

Montenegro or Ethiopia?

Papua New Guinea or Brunei?

The cap badge. Probably the police one, but I'm not sure

Tskhinvali was awarded the honorary title of Hero City Сегодня, 19:03 Today, 19:03 The information from the same site: Tskhinvali was awarded the honorary title of Hero City Сегодня, 19:03 Today, 19:03 Tskhinvali was awarded the honorary title of Hero City Сегодня, 19:03 Today, 19:03 Tskhinvali was awarded the honorary title of Hero City Сегодня, 19:03 Today, 19:03 "Today, 19.03. Decree of the President of the Republic of South Ossetia: for the courage, steadfastness and heroism displayed by the people and defenders of the city in the fight for freedom and independence of the Fatherland capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, was awarded the honorary title of City - Hero. This decree was read by the President of the Republic of South Ossetia, Eduard Kokoity, at the ceremonial meeting devoted to the Day to start addressing the people of South Ossetia for independence". The Ossetian title of the Hero didn't exist to present day. I don't know whether it is only as "virtual" title or something like "Golden Star medal" will be instituted too. Today most of post-soviet countries (except Moldova but plus Abkhazia) have titles and decorations of this kind.

Medal for the Peacekeeping

Medal to the Defender of the Homeland

Order of Honour (the highest order of the republic but the lowest quality of the pic )

Order of Friendship

There are some pictures from semi-official ossetian site. Order Uatsamonga (for military valor)

Order of Suvorov, 2nd grade. The newest decoration, instituted in 2008. Poor picture but it's better than nothing

Order of Honour

Order for Military Service to Homeland, 3rd grade

Order of Republic, highest decoration of Pridnestrovie (here's only suspension without ribbon)

Yes, of course. This is a badge of Ukrainian VDNKh (now - National Expo Center). Inscription: "Exhibition on Attainments of People's (or National) Economy". Abbreviation below: "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic"

It closely resembles saudi Liberation of Kuwait medal. The shape is practically the same (as well as the date of the manufacturing, by the way)

Benin, People's Republic National order, Commander grade Circa 1980

This is Order of the Republic, third class

But Megan is too generous enough to share pictures with us Thank again!

Dear Megan, thank you. Your Bosnian contribution is really priceless When I saw these decorations on eBay a couple of weeks ago I thought: 'Wow! Megan told about them on her site'. And now I think: 'WOW!!! Megan HAS them!' Congratulations! And my best wishes!
