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

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.
