Gordon Craig Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Gents,What medals do the purple ribbon with the 6 yellow stripes and the red ribbon with the two blue stripes at each end belong to.Regards,Gordon
Mister No Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 -purple ribbon with the 6 yellow stripes is MEDAL FOR THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF YUGOSLAV PEOPLE'S ARMY-red ribbon with the two blue stripes at each end is MEDAL FOR THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF YUGOSLAV PEOPLE'S ARMY
Guest Rick Research Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Gordon-- whaat does the BACK of the ribbon bar look like? It looks from the front like the same construction as American ones!
Gordon Craig Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Rick,Good question. I only have the picture of the front as it is attached to a uniform which I do not own but was considering buying.Regards,Gordon
Gordon Craig Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 SasaYU,Thanks for adding pictures of some of the medals. I knew what the other ones were. Just didn't have pictures of the ribbons for the two I asked about. Interesting ribbon bar.Regards,Gordon
SasaYU Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I was answering to Rick's question how back of the ribbons look like.Here are ribbons you were interested in:30 years of Yugoslav people's army40 years of Yugoslav people's army
Guest Rick Research Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 :Cat-Scratch: Fascinating. These are remarkably similar to BRITISH pattern ribbon bars of the late 1940s!!!!!!!
Gordon Craig Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) SasaYU,Sorry, I didn't realize you were answering Rick's question. Are larger ribbon bars, like the one I posted, pinned on, or sewn on to the tunic? What would the back of a ribbon bar with 8 ribbons look like?Regards,Gordon Edited March 1, 2009 by Gordon Craig
sebastian Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Here are two ribbon bars from my collection. Both were made to be sewn on to the tunic. Edited March 4, 2009 by sebastian
Valter Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Most of YU ribbon bars are sewn on with backing. Here are two more unusual ones:partial backing (a bar from UNEF member): averse
Valter Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 reverse... one button/pin is missing (sorry for bad picture)
Guest Rick Research Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks for showing these different types. First British-style pin-backs, and then American-style clutch-backs. Odd that the full size medal ribbons should be Soviet-style-- I guess that included everybody!!!
Gordon Craig Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 Valter,Thanks for the additional ribbon pictures and attachment methods.Regards,Gordon
