* Armed Forces Medal for Parachute Jumps, 1000 Jumps

Christophe,

How do you know they are for parachute jumps and not just for 15 and 10 years of service?

Personally, I find Hungarian ribbon bars to be rather confusing (especially due to the "recycling" of the same ribbons for multiple awards). This one is made worse by being made of fading paper "ribbons" under discoloring domed plastic.

Tentative identification:

1) Medal of Labor/Medal of Service; Public Security Medal; 25 Year Service Medal; 15 Year Service Medal

2) 20 Year Service Medal

Policeman?

Corrections are welcomed.
