National Flag Order 3rd Class.

[amdl614]

Difference between Soviet made ribbon bar and North Korean made ribbon bar.

This ribbon bar is for Order of the National Flag(국기훈장) 3rd class. Maybe the other orders and medals will same like this.

Up - Soviet made(50s)
Down - DPRK made

Soviet made ribbon bar is best quality. Made with white metal, like WW2 era Soviet medal suspension or ribbon bar.

I find this Soviet made ribbon bar in Bulgaria. Collectors can find DPRK awards in communist bloc countries, especially who help North Korea during the Korean War. North Korea awarded many orsers and medals for their merit, support and friendship between N.Korea-communist bloc.
