strange "fruits salad"

I bought it several years ago on E***. According to the seller, the former owner was a para major who served in East germany and Afghanistan and retired in 1991. I'm surprised by the lack of 1988 anniversary medal. An east german brotherhood medal in 3 classes did exist, why didn't he received it ?

red banner
red star
10 years of service
Internationalist fighter (?)
east german Kampforden
east german armed forces merit medal in silver
afghan red banner
medal from the grateful afghan people

If he was a major, wouldn't his service time be longer than 10 years? And with 10 years of service, he should proabably have gotten the 1978 anniversary award as well. I think your bar is made up from parts, I hope you did not pay a fortune.

I bought it for $15, so not a big deal. I believe that a "elite" officer could be promoted to major before 15 years of service. To me the biggest problem is the lack of the 1988 anniversary medal and the east german medals.
