Very very interesting. Compare to the ribbon bar posted by Christed, above, at

http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6241&st=4

A relative?

[Ed_Haynes]

Dirty, but "character-imbued".

For those who like backsides (back sides?):

[Guest Rick Research]

THAT'S come off a uniform...

what are the last two foreign ribbons?

[Ed_Haynes]

The only enameled ribbon bar I have ever seen (or heard of). Obviously, some home-assembly was required, but . . .

Honorary Medal of Combat, "We Won", 25 Years of MPR

[Guest Rick Research]

Alexei Merezhko had one of the same vintage and probably same construction while you were gone.

So that's TWO that have eluded me!

Who was this guy?

I discussed this with "A Friend of Us All" in Ulanbaatar. He believed an identity can be assigned. Watch this space . . . .

That last ribbon is very much tinkered together on my bar, but has what seems to be a French-style 2nd class (gold-rosette-silver) device.

And just to see them side-by-side . . .

I guess I beat you to it as the ribbon bar is one of the ones Alexei had.

It is the order of Combat Valor, I think it a little harder top get than the others.

[Dolf]

Right, the third one on the 1st bar is for the Order of Combat Valor.

One of those that took me quite some time to get. I guess it's harder to find than the more common ones.

The hardest to find being of course the ribbon for the OSB

Dolf

Yeah, I am still looking for one of those.

Hi Ron,

Wish you can find two so you can reserve one for me too

Ah . . . scanning problems and it is scanned with the bar flipped. All is clearer now. What I expected. An uncommon bar to be sure, especially from that era. Thanks.

[Ed_Haynes]

Nice, but it seems the second Lenin is mounted oddly. A "restoration"?

This is another ribbon group where, if we knew enough, we might put a name to it.

[Bob]

Correct, restored in the corner. Presumably the ribbon got soiled, torn or something like that. Rather crudely done (can be seen on reverse).

Makes you wonder where all these awards have disappeared to...

[Ed_Haynes]

Yeah, and, as usual, a rather -- shall we say -- "inventive" approach to the order of wear, both of domestic and foreign awards. Not sure anyone ever followed any standard order of wear?
