Riley1965 Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) I could kick myself for not recognizing the Polish WWII Victory and Freedom ribbon. I Knew it was Polish but couldn't get two brain cells to click!! Rick, as for your question "Next TWO from same guy end with the Mongol WW2-- is that one on the last bar PAINTED while all the rest are real ribbons." At closer look it's a real ribbon with the gold stripes painted with gold paint.Doc Edited May 27, 2006 by Riley1965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 What is this, some kind of a cult? EVERYBODY knows where our Favorite Co-Author is EXCEPT me? I am just knocked for a loop to see the "enamel ribbon bar" colors used AFTER the Mongolian 1945 Victory came out with a RIBBON ribbon bar form. I have never seen this before, ever. To have three to the same officer all using that is many years ago I stupidly passed on a career officer's group that had all his medal award booklets sewn into a custom cover along with his Orders Book (thus instantly recognizable, whoever owns it Out There now) and with it came his medal bar which had the Mongolian 1945 Victory Medal MOUNTED Soviet style after his jubilees... but with an obviously custom-made red-blue-red ribbon logically diplicating the colors of the original enamel suspension.Nevr did understand why the Mongolians used weird designs before 1961 that bore no relation to the full sized award suspension colors.Anyway, congratulations on NIFTY finds. So what can we "read" in this career? MMM and one Red Star for long service, 20 years time in after 1956, at least 25 years in when retired. Served in Poland, then Manchuria via Mongolia. One "real" Red Star somewhere along the way, probably a Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel, might have been a General, and alive in retirement 1978-85.
