Interesting that he chose to wear the ribbons above the medals. Also of note here: have you ever seen Romanian medals in a Soviet style multiple mount? I don't believe I ever have... they just seem to be placed along side each other in kind of a haphazard way, which got worse with the introduction (1966) of the "straight" medals and the mix of the Soviet-style mount with the straight mount. All over the place.

They do turn up at Romanian Collector's Fairs, what has put me off getting one

has always been the inflated prices.

Thanks for that, Kevin. It is the first time I've seen a Soviet style multiple mounting applied to Romanian medals (the Soviet Victory in Europe and the Czech War Cross not withstanding). A very nice set which I see could be expensive. At least now I know that some did wear sets of properly mounted medals.
