IrishGunner Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Nice find. What is #5? Interesting you can see how it was soldered on after the first 4 were mounted.
Gordon Craig Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 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
Ulsterman Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 well- it would fit a Munkasor workers militia type.
