Medal "For Strengthening Brotherhood In Arms".
That's what the seller calls it - Czech "military brotherhood" medal. Even though it looks like the Bulgarian lion, the text is in a Latin alphabet, so I can see it being Czech.
But, my real question is would this be the equivalent of the Soviet "Strengthening Military Cooperation"? Also, in a related matter, I never got an answer to my question about Eastern Bloc medals unlike this one with no actual device on it to pin the medal on, then how does/did they do it? (I see the pin on this one, but I have others from Poland and Romanian with nothing but ribbon.) Thanks in advance, Phillip

Re: Czech "Military Brotherhood" medal?
Strictly, this is called "Brotherhood in Arms" medal, and I think it could be equivalent to the soviet "strenghening military cooperation" one.
BTW regarding pinless suspension medals, i´ve seen ones sewn right onto the uniform (Poland) and Romanian medal bars sewn onto a thicker piece of cloth with a big pin in it. Strange that these last ones didn´t use multiple place suspensions to attach them though. E.

Re: Medal "For Strengthening Brotherhood In Arms".
The Medal "For Strengthening Brotherhood In Arms" (Medaile "Za Upevňování Přátelství Ve Zbrani") was founded on 4th March 1970 by decree #16. Awarded to officers of the Warsaw Pact for strengthening international military cooperation.
Gold was for Commander (The top brass) Silver for Mid-Level Officers (Majors-Colonels) Bronze was for lower level Officers ("Out in the field") Here is a Silver or 2nd Class example to a Bulgarian "Brother".
