IrishGunner Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well, today was likely my last day at the Yerevan flea market; I'll be here one more week, but probably won't have time on my last weekend. So, here are today's pieces. A high number Bravery Medal , a Distinguished Labor Medal, and a Soviet ribbon bar with Stalingrad, Budapest, and Belgrade Campaign medals (oh and a Red Star). More in the USSR sub-forum about these. Also, picked up a Republic of Armenia ribbon bar - with the Baghramian Medal and three others. And two types of Armenian Armed Forces sleeve patch and a Police sleeve patch. Plus field grade parade uniform shoulder boards (just need to get stars for rank). I'll put the ribbon bar in a sub-forum too. And I did some Christmas shopping! A brandy stand for #1 son; a silver cross and bracelet for #2 son; a silver necklace for daughter; and a bag for wife. All the dealers at the flea market are going to miss my money when I leave! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Third Row: Capture of Budapest Capture of Vienna Military Retirement Medal There is no Belgrade ribbon. Belgrade is green with the broad black center stripe. Awesome ribbon bar. Doh! Yes, you are correct; Vienna. I had Belgrade on my mind since I was looking at a Belgrade Campaign Medal that same day (as well as a Defense of the Arctic and Defense of Sevastopol) and had Belgrade on my mind. The Belgrade seemed fake to me; which made me worry about the others - although the Sevastopol looked good. It was $400 and I was out of cash! :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
