Ribbon Bars

As I don't believe this has been covered yet, I thought I'd share a few Romanian ribbon bars. The three I'll show today are military (yes, civilian members of the Communist Party also wore ribbon bars); two are from the RPR period (1947-1965) and the last is from the RSR period (1965-1989).

First, an RPR "four across", eight ribbon bar. The awards are (left to right, top to bottom):

Star of Romania, 5th Class
Order of Military Merit, 2nd Class (20 Years)
Order of Labour, 3rd Class
Order of Military Merit, 3rd Class (15 Years)
Liberation from the Fascist Yoke
Medal for Military Merit, Gold (10 Years)
10 Year Anniversary of the Foundation of the Army
20th Anniversary of the Armed Forces

The back reveals soldered together rows.
