Stogieman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Distinci?n "23 de Agosto" Unfortunately, I have no details or information on this one yet. Ribbon example below. A Cuban site specifies: "Distinci?n "23 de Agosto" de la Federaci?n de Mujeres Cubanas"So an award from The Federation of Cuban Women (??), I found many Cuban women bographies that noted receipt of this award.

Guest Rick Research Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I think that's been mis-identified by the seller. It's got a PERSON (even I cannot read the name from the eCrap scan)...though can't find THAT ribbon either, so maybe it's a previoiusly unknown award!

Megan Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Just added this one to my site - and in rooting around discovered that it was instituted in 1985 by the Federation of Cuban Women, and awarded for work promoting family life, health and social care in the community. Quite where the firearms come in...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
