Re: Raul Castro`s Awards
Hi Blanco,
Not really any clear images to work from. Rick and Ed had go at this a while back now, here is what they came up with: 1- Hero Star 2- Orden "Máximo Gómez" (I); Orden "Máximo Gómez" (I); Orden "Camilo Cienfuegos" ; Orden "Combatiente de la Guerra de Liberación" (I) 3- Orden "17 de Mayo" ; Orden "Combatiente de la Guerra de Liberación" (II);Medalla "Por el Servicio Ejemplar en FAR"; Medalla " Combatiente de la Lucha Clandestina" 4- Medalla "Combatiente de la Columna Uno José Martí"; Medalla "Eliseo Reyes" (I); Medalla "Lucha Contra Bandidos"; Medalla Commemorativa "30 Anniversarios de FAR" (1986) 5- Medalla Conmemorativa "40 Anniversario de FAR"; Order of Lenin (?); Order of the October Revolution (?); ??? (??) Take a look, I'm not sure about the 3rd row, it looks to be a Medalla "Por el Servicio Ejemplar en FAR'' before the Orden "Combatiente de la Guerra de Liberación" (II) :confused: Regards Eddie

It´s strange that the cuban award for 10 yrs of FAR is the last one. BTW I do not think that the picture showing these ribbon bars is 2008. He looks way too young. I´d say this pic is from the 80´s.

Re: Raul Castro`s Awards
Weird,
It looks like a totaly different bar :confused: The Bulgarian medal for the 40 years of victory in WWII has wider red edge stripes. The 10 years of FAR is green, white and light blue with a bronze X, The only similar cuban ribbon is the Medalla Conmemorativa "XX Anniversario" which of course has the XX and is black/ red and not red/black. It could be the Angolian medal shown in the image but that has a star. Here is my opinion so far last row: Soviet Medal for Strengthening Combat Alliance (1975) Bulgarian Brotherhood in Arms Medal (1975) Soviet Jubilee Medal on 100th Anniversary of Lenin's Birthday Unknown

Re: Raul Castro`s Awards
Sorry, I became confused with the X and the red/black colors, typical of the cuban revolutionary movement. I´d lean to an angolan award. It may probably be the one you show in the picture, in spite of having a star and not an X. Maybe the star is displayed only in the award and the ribbon shows only the commemorative date?

Re: Raul Castro`s Awards
The latest try,
any ideas guys? Top row: Medalla " Combatiente de la Lucha Clandestina" , Medalla "Eliseo Reyes" (I). Second row: Distinción "Por el Servicio en el Ministerio del Interior" (20 years) Third row: DPRK Foundation 20th Anniversary Commemorative Order (1968) Fourth row: Ho Chi Minh Order, DPRK order of labour. Fifth row: 50 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR. ?, 60 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR. Bottom row: Soviet Medal for Strengthening Combat Alliance (1975), Bulgarian Brotherhood in Arms Medal (1975) , Soviet Jubilee Medal on 100th Anniversary of Lenin's Birthday, Unknown, possibbly Angolan (see the MPLA Poster) or Egyptian Medal of Exceptional Promotion? Row 3 (Medal for the War of 1939,1981) and 5 look like Polish ribbons?
