It must also be of note that if someone got such high war period awards they would have most probably been awarded a few non-Soviet awards that would almost be part of their bar. I would also expect them to have served for longer than 3 years before the outbreak of war (Long Service 1st Class indicates the earliest service date of 1938 otherwise it would have been a Red Banner for 20 years service) to be getting the higher end awards.

Made up, definitely.

A high ranking guy would not have such a sloppily mounted ribbon bar.
Here are some examples of properly mounted ones.

Hi gents, here are a few more from my collection. I may be one of a few people who seeks them out, I love these though! They tell a great story and are little works of art too.

First--just a Bravery and two Combat Service Medals. I like how simple it is and what it represents.

Pobeda45 · 09-07-2013, 01:37 PM

Second--three Combat Service Medals!
The recipient was a Frontovik, judging by the VOG and Vienna medals. Likely a staff officer, and someone who stayed in the army post-war (judging by the 15 and 20 year long service medals) Looks cool with the three CSMs. :thumbsup

Really beautifully made, slightly curved for comfortable wear.
The recipient was awarded Order of Patriotic War 1st and 2nd Classes, Order of Red Star, and Odessa and Caucasus medals.

Pobeda45 · 09-07-2013, 01:45 PM

Possibly a Partisan!

Red Star, Glory, Bravery Medal, Partisan 1st Class (Or Leningrad?), VOG, Berlin medal. Just a combat set, no long service awards. :thumbsup

I am leaning towards this being a Partisan medal due to the extra ribbon that seems to represent the Belarus Partisan badge, on the lowest level.

Pobeda45 · 09-07-2013, 01:48 PM

Kind of a curiosity: the recipient has both Leningrad and Stalingrad campaign medals but no Victory over Germany medal--instead he/she has The Valiant Labor in Great Patriotic War medal. So not a Frontovic--Factory worker? Any ideas welcome.

Seems a strange mix. I'd go Nurse. They certainly needed nurses in both those situations and I don't think a factory worker would move from the frying pan into the fire. More likely from the frying pan to the freezer (other side of the Urals).

I really enjoy these plastic bars but they aren't always easy to store. There can be some really strange combinations. Medical personnel can have some really strange selections.
