Hungary My Hungarian collection

[Hauptmann]

Hi all,

Finally had time to do decent scans of the bar after it arrived:

Oops! Nearly forgot the Fire medal I picked up a while back:

Well - we have a house (apparently) and will close in early August (supposedly).... but - on this bar - its a military one - nothing to speculate that its Munkasor: 1956 Return of Power, Service Medal, Service to the Fatherland and the Dist Service Medals of 15-20-25 years is a pretty common military bar for a career officer who joined in 1949-1950 era.

Gents,

I must have a had a reason to say this bar was Munkasor but right now that reason escapes me! Sorry for the incorrect comment.

Must have missed this post as it took place while I was on holidays.

Regards,

Gordon

Nice flag order!!

[hunyadi]

and April 4th -and and ----- very nice collection - can you give a reverse shot of the Order of the Red Star (there are many variants and more information on these is best!) :jumping:

[Gordon Craig]

I second Hunyadi's request. I'd be interested in seeing the reverse of all of the awards posted. Especially the Order of Merit for Socialist Hungary. I have two variations of this order and there might be more!

Gordon

Hallo Gents,

I hope this is in the correct section, I did a search and it lead me to here:-

A friend of mine dropped into visit today and showed me this pin he picked up recently

hopefully somebody more knowledgeable can say what its exactly for.

Kevin,

T?RZSG?RDA pins were given out by almost every business in Hungary as a "long service" award. There is a thread I did on these pins on the HUPR forum someplace. You will find lots more info there.

Regards,

Gordon

Kevin,

Here is the link to my thread.

Hi all,

Congrats. Nice pick up.

Many thanks my friend! Been having to keep an eye out for inexpensive deals as that's about all I can do right now. Very happy with both of these.

Dan :cheers:

A few more new additions:

Sorry for the poor pic... all I have at the moment. Hope to make scans once they arrive.

Hi all,

Well, it's been quite a few months since I've had anything new to add here but just come on this one. Been wanting one for ages and now only need the 1959 to finish the set:

I love the design on this one.

[hunyadi]

Dan -

Very nice - you scored a very rare and complete 1969 version. This one is the only one I have seen cased and complete. :cheers:
