hhbooker2 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Welcome to The Cuban Militaria Forum! An area of militaria with some interest and almost no references, information, etc. I will try and collate and post threads and details as they come together. Please feel feel free to add your examples to the individual threads on each of the Orders, Decorations and Medals!"GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!" Here is a fascinating medal from 1880s Cuba, Madruga Municipality. Shown here is the obverse side. It is my belief that medals of Cuba are far too often over-looked and there appears to be sparse information on them. Only the medals of Puerto Rico seem harder to find? Eric Bush did a nice set of colour pages on the current Cuban ribbon bars in his RIBBON REVIEW.

Ulsterman Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Sarge:Do you perchance know what ribbon the last medal had? Was it Burgendy and solid perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
