Hi Archie, Interesting to see that the one with the green enamel has a different year - 1987 instead of 1986. Mistake by the manufacturer or issued to commemorate 1 year of establishment or perhaps a second minting of the medal ?? As to the rules of GMIC, you are doing fine mate. Your 10, 20 and 30 year medals are different than the ones I have pictures of. note the different front and back (reversed on yours). Silver version (20 years) different suspenders. Also note the different front and back (reversed on yours and bronze). Bronze version (10 years) - note the different front and back (reversed on yours and silver). I will add your picture to my picture file, again with thanks. Marcon1.

Thank you both very much for the information!!! He had a very interesting combination of medals, more than I initially thought, I believe there is no photo of him wearing all his medals, correct?

Hi Flávio, maybe this https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Mayer#:~:text=Rupert Mayer SJ (* 23,gehörte er zum katholischen Widerstand. is from interest for you. Kind regards Andreas

Hello, Father Rupert Mayer was a divisional chaplain in the Bavarian army (8. bayr. Reserve-Division). He was born in Stuttgart / Württemberg, on 23.1.1876 Awards: Bavarian MVO 4th Class swords and 4th class crown + swords on ribbon for war-merit Württemberg Friedrichsorden 4th class EK1 EK2 Austria Militärverdienstkreuz 2th class He was seriously wounded by an artillery shell and lost a lower leg . https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Mayer

Hello everyone, I was researching the medals that Father Rupert Mayer won in the WW1, I know that he was awarded three times (1st and 2nd of the Iron Cross ), as he lost his leg in combat, I suspect that the third decoration is the wounded badge, but I didn't find anything about it, also, as he died in 1945, it is likely that he had the Hindenburg Cross, could anyone confirm for me what his medals?

Thanks for posting such a wide array of items. I've just started getting into Cuban items, and your posts have provided a lot of education for me.

I got the information I was looking for 😊

I can read everything but the last 3 lines. Would anybody be able to read this? Alternatively this link leads to the document Thanks a lot

Very nice indeed! Nice to see the Vor Dem Feinde Spange!

This set is only a collectors set and not those of a recipient. However, I can confirm that all 9 medals of the Venda Defence Force, were issued during the existance of Venda

Hi, The central cartouche has twisted out of true but I think is is of the Bey Mohammed Sadok ruled 1859-82. Owain

Another example (from Bundesarchiv RH 7/1774)

Thank you for your reply here, I am fully aware of the OMRS having been a collector of British war and campaign medals over 50 years. It was not a complaint about the information being only available to members just a response to the previous reply to my request. I'm sure that what you provide to members maybe invaluable but many people today especially have to watch their finances regardless. Regards David

Thank you for your help much appreciated, the information is excellent. Regards

Have a look at this, it might help https://asiamedals.info/threads/guide-for-dating-of-nichan-iftikhar-order-by-bey-monograms.11635/
