DPRK Ribbon Bars.

An impressive north korean ribbon bar.
1st row: Order of the 20th anniversary of DPRK, Order of National Flag 3 class, Soldier´s Honor medal.
2nd and 3rd row: Military Merit medal.
I assume this belonged to an NCO or a junior Lt.

Re: North Korean militaria (uniforms)

I think (but I know that new ressources were published on the subject and I haven't those ressources...) that the third ribbon is called Military Service Honor Medal, and the last ones are Meritious Service Medals.
I don't think that the wearer of this bar is of such a junior rank, he has certainly a long career behind him. May be a senior nco or a captain. I don't known much (if anything) about the attribution of the different medals and orders, but the combination is interesting, the Military Merit Medal seems much more frequent than the Meritious Service.

Re: North Korean militaria (uniforms)

Kliment,

I think that if it were for a higher rank officer would have at least two more National Flags from classes II and III. the number of MSs makes me think that he/she was a NCO with a long service -just like you say- and/or outstanding political readiness, since he was awarded the 20th anniversary order.
