5)    Order of 9th September 1944 (2nd cl)

6)    Order of National Liberty (2nd cl) (probably)

7)    Soviet Medal of Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-45

Very nice bar.

 

14) and 22) are Jubilee Medals as well. There are several possibilities.

Thanks! But so you haven’t seen the first ribbon before either? Should be something high ranking.
