Wife found these at a yard sale today and picked them up for me. Don't think they are real because there were a bunch of badges with these as well. I can show them here as well if anyone is interested? I know zero about any USSR/Russian items so help would be great!

Brian,

 

They are real. You have to remember that the Soviets put out tons and tons of medals during and after WWII. I don't see anything rare or valuable in the group, but they will sell if they are relatively inexpensive.

The medal with the green ribbon with red stripes looks like a South Vietnamese Civil Action medal 1st class. Given to most anyone who served in Vietnam.

A lot of the little light weight pieces that look like they were made for a flea market are znachkis. Little souvenir pins you can buy at newspaper stands in Russian cities.

 

Just to clarify, I didnt mean any of the ribboned medals that you are showing.
