bazsi Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Gents,I need some help. This ribbon bar is on one of my 1970M Hungarian general's tunic. The marked (red arrow) ribbon is a foreign ribbon (blue with white and red stripes), which I haven't been able to identify. What kind of ribbon is it?Regards,Bazsi Edited May 29, 2009 by bazsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 No clue but I suspect Cuban.Who was the General? Do you have his career details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazsi Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Thanks! I thought just the ribbon last is surely cuban.The original owner of the uniform was maj.gen. K?ri Gy?rgy. He was the political lieut. commander of the 5th army (command of the land forces). In 1986-1990 he was the 1st secretary of MHSZ (Hungarian National Defense Association).Regards,Bazsi Edited May 29, 2009 by bazsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 bazsi,I agree with Ulsterman that it has a Cuban look about it but the ribbon itself does not appear in my chart of Cuban medals. That does not mean it isn't Cuban, just that it is not in my chart. It also does not appear on my ribbon charts for Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia Poland, Romania or Yugoslavia.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunyadi Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Just some others to consider would be Korean or Chinese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazsi Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Gents,Thanks for help! I tried to find it in all of my charts. Unfortunately, it does not appear in my chart of Chinese and Korean medals (Gasewski, Barrio). It is an interesting task to find...Regards,Bazsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunyadi Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I would alos check the African nations. There was alot of "support" by the Hungarians (training, repair, etc... I have a funny story about an Mi8 @ the Solnok Musuem.... in that regard) durng the many regime changes in that portiaon of the world. Just another place to take a stab.

Guest Rick Research Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have exactly the same problem with ??? ribbons on some of my Soviet ribbon bars. Obviously from the former "fraternal nations" but no references for the smaller and most secretive countries. :banger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
