Again, thanks. I just think it is important to have the real names for these things (and gather that finding them for the DPRK isn't so easy).

If I miss putting the original Korean name for any awards just give me a prod and I'll make it available. It is not the easiest thing to transcribe what is written on the awards into actual usable text. Handwriting is another thing again. I learnt so others don't have to waste their time learning a totally different alphabet and writing system just to translate a few dozen award names.... Hopefully I can help as many collectors as possible.
A considerable amount of Types and Variations of the National Flag Order 3rd Class to come.
