    Not familiar enough to identify these. Military medals are not my thing.

    They are difficult to see in this format, for me anyway. Maybe you can take photos of one of two at a time. :)

    Yes ... the picture provided is low resolution - and contains many items at a far distance away in bad lighting.

    As Komo always says - help us, to help you!

    I collect war medals but I don't recognize any of these.
    From the pictures shown some look like patriotic Soviet / Chinese badges.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Yes, definitely need bigger pictures. The one with the man's photo in the middle looks interesting.

    Patriotic Chinese badges, Communist Party.
    The first badge is the shape of China. and some of the rest feature Chairman Mao.

    I still like the one with the photograph, but don't know whether he was somebody famous or not.

    My uncle worked for the government embassy and did a lot of collecting over the years, mostly in Africa, but he got around. I have collected and inherited over the years without really digging in to what i have. Slowing down these days and now taking more of an interest. The badges were one of his collections.
