Perhaps these has some mistakes, but this are the new ribbon plates

[Megan]

Very nice, Antonio.

Humberto has sent me some pictures, so I think it will be El Salvador for September's country of the month!

Quick question: do the 'ribbon bars' like the Fighter one ONLY come as metal & enamel or is there a cloth (ribbon) version as well?

Megan,

all the bars of my country comes only in metal ( 35 mm). at least for the armed forces I have never seen any cloth version (the national orders are civilian so they do not have ribbon bars) . the only ones that are used in cloth are bars of foreing decorations awarded to officers of my country.

for example, in the next image, the first ribbon from left is a decoration from Venezuela, next a decoration from Taiwan, both in cloth and the last one is the Fighter bar, in metal.

Humberto-you mean medals are worn chronologically? Why don't El Salvadoran medals go first?

[Megan]

Do police officers wear ribbons on their uniforms? Are those metal as well?

I'm going to have to derive a new way of illustrating ribbon bars if there are no cloth ones. Eeek!

Jeff,

you are correct, the medals are worn chronologically, it has always been that way. however some officers do not follow the regulations and they use the medals in incorrect form

Megan,

yes, the police use ribbon bars too and comes in metal.

The updated ribbon plate

[Humberto Corado]

Very well done Antonio! perhaps you want to add this national order:

"Orden del libertador de los esclavos Jose Simeon Ca?as" this is the second order in importance, just behind the orden Jose Matias Delgado.

These are medals of El Salvador or not?

[Ulsterman]

Are they marked 'N.S. Meyer" on the back? I think they are Nicaraguan.

[Megan]

The one with the blue & white ribbon is the Cross of Merit of the Armed Forces (Cruz de las Fuerzas Armadas) from Honduras.

[ilja559]

Thanks Megan.May be first from Honduras too.

[Antonio Prieto]

I can confirm both are from Honduras. The first, the Distinguished Service Medal
