Two Czech ribbon bars

[Noor]

Hi,

I got today some new ribbon bars, including those two Czech bars below. Any extra information would be great!

1. Massive 16 place ribbon bar. Ribbons No. 8 and the last one (16) not ID-d yet. Any ideas?

[Noor]

2. And this one is interesting as well...

- Orden of the Red Flag

- Order of the Red Star (?)

- Order of Labor

Noor, the last ribbon is the same as #5 but without the device. Cheers Captain Albert

Hello!

Post #1 is a great ribbon bar! I think, number 8 is the "Commemorative Medal of the 1st Revolutions Regiment National Guard Prague" from 1945

Hi Dirk,

Is the main colour of the ribbon white or blue (as Noor's bar) ? Do you have a pic of the reverse ?

Cheers.

The ribbon is certainly light blue. Here is a photo I once found at another forum. Noor's ribbon has faded and the front may look white. Do have a look at the back side.

BTW: I wonder what the military career of the gentleman the ribbons belonged to might look like. Is it possible to find out who he was?

The ribbon is certainly light blue. (...)

Lukasz,

Exactly what I thought...

Cheers.

Because I know nothing about Czech Army, award system, I would like to know is it possibe to "read out" more about the owner of this set - unit, rank, etc? There isn't much on the internet to study and I afraid my language skills do not allow to check all the available information.

Looking his awards, to me its looks like person, who had long career but didn't received any bravery, gallantry awards - can't be officer but more like NCO, who liked his commemorative "bling bling" to wear. Still neaded uniform for ribbon bar? Some kind a Beamter, civilian in uniform? Who can advise please
