Medal "For Combat Merits".
Title says it all. Reverse reads "Pridnistrovian (or Transnistrian) Moldovan Republic" with a wreath below.
This Transnistrian medal strangely imitates the Afghan Combat Service Medal, which took its inspiration from the Soviet medal of the same name. See http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...ice-medal.html Last edited by CtahhR; 10-02-2012 at 07:57 AM. |

Re: Combat Service Medal
Nice, Paul. I imagine most of these came as a result of the '91-'92 war. Do you know of any other conflicts in which Pridnestrovie troops have participated?

Re: Combat Service Medal
Greg, yes, and yes.
Transnistrian newspapers reported veterans fought in the AUG 08 Russian-Georgian war, then they kind of went silent about the issue. Last edited by CtahhR; 02-16-2014 at 01:18 PM. |
