Hi,

This is the only Medal from Angola that I've seen on pics. Btw sorry for the poor pics, not mine and this is all I have

Dolf

PS: Just adding that I'm not even sure if the ribbon is the right one for this Medal, as in fact I don't even know the real name for this Medal!

Also, checking the ribbons listed on this site (link below) I can't find this one displayed on this Medal!

But on this site they have pictures of another couple of Angolan Medals.

Another one of these... but with inscription on the reverse:

2 AN

PROCL FAPLA (or FALLA?)

1-8-74/76

Would like to get a ribbin to make the appropriate suspension for this award. The ribbon should be plain green and fit a typical soviet steel suspension. Any idea where these can be obtained?

FAPLA sounds right.

It is for the 2nd anniversary of FAPLA.

See here...
