| Medal
of Merit Carabinieri 1st Degree |
 |
 The
medal, issued by the Ministry of Interior, is of a light shiny
alloy (quite tinny really) and resembles more a badge.
The center emblem is attached to a suspension in Moldovan tricolors
(like Romanian) and the colouring is paint. The text in
the blue field reads "Carbinierir Troops of the Ministry
of Interior" and is wrapped around the Moldovan coat of
arms (eagle with bull). The text on the red ribbon reds "For
Merit" It is reputedly made in Romania. I am trying
to find out how many people received this medal and for what.
