Ed_Haynes Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) 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 . . .

Ed_Haynes Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) The bar - Two Polar Stars and a _what_? Blue or green centre?? Edited August 11, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboomsma Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The bar - Two Polar Stars and a _what_? Blue or green centre??It is the order of Combat Valor, I think it a little harder top get than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolf Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) It is the order of Combat Valor, I think it a little harder top get than the others.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. Edited August 12, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
