The ribbon would not have been issued like this, so although it may be original in itself, it has been reattached at some point.

In general, I think that it is rather pointless to discuss today whether the ribbon is original or replaced. Soviet veterans usually changed the ribbons on the suspensions usually every 10-15 years, before the next Victory Day celebration. Moreover, in the USSR, many of them were replaced for free. And since 1945, 75 years have already passed...

In my opinion, if a medal, such as 'For Bravery' has the old ribbon, not changed, it keeps historical value. The ribbon has seen 75 years of history.
Quick mention: Happy Elbe Day! 75 years ago, Soviet and American forces met in Torgau.

What is considered an original ribbon? Only the ribbon with which the medal was awarded to the recipient? How can this be determined practically from the ribbon itself?
In Soviet medals, suspension devices always had adaptations for easy replacement of ribbons.
Prices for Soviet medals with pentagonal suspensions (and for orders, however, too) never practically did not differ from whether the original ribbon on the suspension or replaced. Moreover, the share of medals with original ribbons decreased, to my mind, to percents in the first 20 years after the end of the GPW.
