Celluloid medal bar

[SovPha]

Today's flea market find. A nice celluloid bar without medals. 1st - Medal For Battle Merit, 2nd - For valiant labour in the Great Patriotic War, 3rd - Victory over Germany, and 4th - Jubilee Medal "30 Years of the Soviet Army and Navy".

I like the look of these bars a lot.  Its a shame they are so fragile.

I know several vets who still wear them. Its harder to find them with each year.

I love these 'custom' bars. Here is one with really common medals, but the awardee was clearly proud of them! Paint (?) under very thick Plexiglas wrapped in a brass hanger set.
