Re: Medal "For Wounds In Battle".

Is the red of the heart paint, enamel or paint with a bit of epoxy over it? Can't quite make it out.

Re: Medal "For Wounds In Battle".

Here is a rather fresh Medal "For Wounds In Battle" (በግዳጅ ላይ ለቆሰለ / Bägadaǧə Layə Läḳosälä).

Re: Medal "For Wounds In Battle".

Another rather fresh example suggesting these may be old unissued stock.

Re: Medal "For Wounds In Battle".

poor epoxy enamel and the very precise loop soldering, the bronze colour are typically east-german... the cloth is specific. Mengistu was a known guest in East-Berlin, certainly commercial agreements between the two countries...

PDRE Wound Medal (another image)

And an interesting image of a Cuban veteran wearing the Ethiopian wound medal.

Based on the suspension bar, the name would be Medal "For One Wounded on Duty.".
