    IrishGunner,

    There are two possibilities for #5. They are;

    1-Munkásõr Emlékérem - Workers Militia Medal

    2- Magyar Nékõztársasági Sportérdemérem - Hungarian Sports Medal

    I always find medal bars difficult to decipher. Especially if you are only looking at a picture. Paper bars are specifically difficult as the paper ribbons often slide around inside the holder and unless you have the artifact in your hand what you say is only a best guess so here is my best guess at this bar;

    1- Liberation Commemorative Medal;

    2- Hungarian Order of Labour - possibly in silver;

    3- Hungarian Order of Labour - possibly in Bronze

    4-10 Years Long Service

    5- Workers Militia Medal

    Perhaps my friends Charles or cimbinius will comment on this bar as well.

    Regards,

    Gordon
