I have no clue whether either ribbon is correct and strongly suspect the ribbon on the round medal is quite wrong.

I see several possibilities here:
-- An "order" (the star) and "medal" class for different periods of service?
-- They are really for two different sorts of service (military and labor?) and you just "know" from the design diffences? A single award with two divisions?
-- Suspension bars are being married with medals to create "mules"?
-- Something else entirely is going on?

So much remains to be learned about these (and all) awards.

A reissue of the obsolete imperial medal for victory in the war against Italy. I am sure the ribbon is incorrect as it is the old imperial colors.

I picked up a neck ribbon and large medal the other dayin Addis-Ababa Ethiopia and I cannot place it. It has two superimposed 5 pointed stars with a pentagon formed by rays much like those used for police in Europe or German rank pips. In the center there are five individuals representing what looks like buisness, soldier women, scientists and mechanics. Quite socialist in some respects. The color of the neck ribbon is two blue stripes with one red in the middle. The reverse has two identical stamps on the rays which have the numbers 933 boxed and what looks like "IF" or "F". I was told this was a Derg Regime high order but I doubt it due to the color scheme. Could you help me identify this medal? or at least give me a point of contact that I could reach.

Upon further research I think it may be Mongolian, Laotian, North Korean or Cambodian due to the color scheme.

Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
REDLEG
