Mongolian Ribbon Bars.

[medals73]

Thanks to a friendly fellow forumite, three new ribbon bars have now come to live with me :D . . .

They are very odd and very interesting and very puzzling -- but, then, they are very Mongolian!

Remember, all of these are hand-painted behind heavily domed and curved plastic (following Soviet style). Not only does this mean that considerable (and often befuddling) "artistry" may be in play but it also means that these don't scan well.

I'm not sure you need to see their backsides . . . err . . . back sides, so I'll just show the obverses. Ask if you want the "other view".

The bars and my BEST GUESSES.

1- A fairly normal 3/3/3 ribbon bar.
-- Red Banner of Combat Valor; Order of Combat Valor; Honorary Medal of Combat
-- 30th Anniversary of Khalkin Gol (?); 50 Years of the Revolution; 50 Years of the Police
-- 30 Years of Khalkin Gol (???); 60 Years of Armed Forces; 50th Anniversary of Victory over Japan (possibly??)

2- A three-place ribbon bar.
-- Honorary Medal of Combat; 50 Years of Army; 60 Years of Army

3- An odd miniature ribbon bar (for a woman?), 3/3.
-- Red Banner of Combat Valor (?, very odd); Medal "We Won" (???, I don't think so?); 50th Anniversary of Victory over Japan
-- 30 Years of Khalkin Gol (???); 80 Years of Revolution; 50 Years of Revolution (this makes no sense?)

Other theories?
