Georgian state decorations

[Soviet]

While doing a research on Georgia at the University here is what I have found about the post-soviet georgian awards. :)

Here is a photo I took in May 2005 when President Bush visited Tbilisi, Georgia. It is a close-up of a veteran wearing his medals, among which appears the Georgian Order of Honor. Taz's picture shows this medal hanging from a single suspension ribbon, but here the veteran is wearing it "Soviet-style" on a 5-sided suspension. Any comments?

Well dg he seems to like changing his awards because the top left medal looks like a Victory over Germany Medal mounted on a Medal for the 100th Anniversary of Lenin's Birth suspension. As far as I know Post-Soviet Georgian awards are not officially mounted on five-sided suspensions, they do however have longer normal ribbons without a backing plate.
