    1. Hello, I show you the medal of the Wendes Art Regiment, beautiful and nominative... can you tell me something about the other medal? War campaigns or other info? Thank you
    2. t is possible what you say, can be awards for the crew, in one there is written MARIZA ( which must be the name of the ship ) with a date 1931 -12/7 and in the other MARIZA II 1933 -16/7, in both there is engraved HSK
    3. Hello friend, thanks for the valuable information, all clear! I think we will also find out what the other badges are. I didn’t understand what you meant in that sentence, can you explain it better? ".... Maybe some sort of price or similarity? " ....Perhaps some kind of price or similar??..." Thank you
    4. Thanks friend, I was wrong I wanted to write in English, sorry...even if they are very nice civilians and I think also, interesting, well made, in silver and enameled, also all pre 1945, in short I think they are cute! Do you know what 1994 or HBL 1864 can be? even the triangle ones intrigue me....
    5. Ciao a tutti, ho recuperato stamattina un bel lotto finlandese: oltre alla bella medaglia (purtroppo attuale) della Guerra d'Inverno, ci sono altri bellissimi distintivi in argento, smaltati... ma non riesco ad identificare molti distintivi. Sono tutti del periodo della guerra. I distintivi HSK sono probabilmente confermati da civili con il velo o con il canottaggio? Quello circolare, in basso, al centro, credo siano servizi ministeriali... ma non ne sono sicuro. Altri? Grazie molto
    6. Thanks Demir. I am Italian, the name "Grazia" in this case it is a last name. Both Austrian how Italian. Nevertheless "grazie" and also a name proper of person but I believe both difficulty that on the medal they wrote only the name. The word "Grazia" in Italian, it means great gift or great favor instead, often agreement as "divine grace" that is God's favor. I think both very possible that this medal and assigns to an Austrian person in the chaotic period of the ended war. It would be a very useful thing to retrieve the files to understand more of it. ....
    7. I thank you, it would be very beautiful to be able to see all the decorated with these medals....But I believe it is very difficult...True Demir?
    8. Hey gentlemen, no one tells me anything? All best regards for 2017....!!!
    9. Hello gentlemen, I would like an opinion on the name that was engraved on this beautiful medal imtiaz .... I think it is a surname of an Austrian national who has received the medal, the last name "Grazia" is a surname is Italian and Austrian. And I think it is unlikely that they decorated an Italian citizen. What can you tell me? Many thanks
    10. Hello Gentlemen, thank you for the answers you gave to my post. If anyone is interested I have other beautiful decorations Albanians: Skanderbeg orders given by King zog and also Vittorio Emanuele III with documents ....
    11. The Zog Commemorative Medal: instituted by King Zog I to commemorate his assumption of power on 24th December 1924, but later awarded as a decoration for distinguished and personal services to the sovereign. Awarded in three grades silver, II Calss. If you can, I would like to know from you what is fair pay and what it is valued today! Thanks
    12. Hello I really do not think that is the landscape of Montenegro ... I think more to a head femmile or a symbol. reguards
    13. I do not think Montenegro has always had the lion .... Although Albania has always had but never had eagle globe or another in the hands ..
    14. Hard to say with certainty ... 3 The eagle in the picture, it seems that Byzantine empire. The symbol you see in the picture 4, is the lily: the heraldic symbol of France, but also of Florence to another ... In fact, the dagger has nothing to do with France. I do not think that has nothing to do montenegro also, I think, or Russia or Serbia ... Maybe it's a dagger of one of these two states, with other heraldic symbols of noble families.
    15. Thanks for the comments ... I also like very much, and I'm undecided whether to take one of my daggers ... Unfortunately no one can tell me more? Ithaca
    16. Hello, Today I want to share the pictures of this beautiful dagger, look at that beautiful badges,I think they are symbols of the nobles. I think 1800/1850 or so. Can you tell me anything? News about the wearer etc. .. What do you think? Best reguards Ithaca
    17. Ok thanks JapanX you helped me a lot ... I think it is very unlikely that a Italian took this decoration during the Crimean War. Hard to know everything! Thanks Reguards Itaca
    18. Many thanks ...Japanx end Paul Wood The strange thing is that probably this photo portrays an Italian with this medal, I do not know if the Italian took part in the Crimean War, and I'm trying to make a clarification. For this reason I ask you: This medal should be given between 1856 and 1881 right? And 'silver right? Do you think it possible that was given to an Italian (enemy in war) or is it better to think that it was given in the years following the Crimean War? Although decorated are many you can find the list of decorated? Sorry for the many questions but for me it is a very important research. Best reguards Thanks
    19. Many thanks for the correct identification... Can you tell me for what reason was given? You know how many medals the same as this one, have been given? Reguards Thanks
    20. Do you help me to identify this medal? And' a very important thing seems of Alexander but if it is her, it is a variation that I have never seen... If you want I make other enlargements.. thanks
    21. Thanks I do not know if you know the blades ... The fact is that I found along with two ersatz tube for 85 Mannlicher, made with the blade of the bayonet Vetterli. These have produced both the Italians for rifles Mannnlicher captured. But also the Austro-Hungarians have produced them with the blades of long bayonets vetterli captured after Caporetto etc. .. One of these Ersatz bayonets have large traces of paint on the handle identical to the frog, and if I know who used that color I can understand with certainty who produced the Ersatz .. Which up to now we do not know for sure. Excuse but is a deformation collecting ..
    22. Ok thank you all guys, I had been a little bit of time off. I have clarified the ideas and in the end I did not buy. See you soon Ithaca
    23. Hi, I wanted to know if you can identify this frog. As you can see traces of paint has blue / green. Unfortunately, a kid did some writing over ... Sorry. The frog was together with a sheath for Mannlicher, as you can see, I think a pocket Muser Germany empire modified to the hook and used from the ally Austria-Hungary. One thing that would help us to clarify and is the color. Who used that color? many thanks Itaca
