Hi everyone,

I just got this medal group, but I don't think that soviet has this kind of screw back holder, is it a new mounted medals as souvenir?

Cheers.

Such holder for several medals were indeed used to mount awards in a good line on a uniform. I do not know if your is OK or not. At least, the last two awards are in the wrong order, the medal for 20 years of service should be placed before 15 years. The bar itself might be good if it was part of a larger group which would stretch back into the 40-ties. As-is it is not good since there should have been a 10 years of service award as well.
