Dear All,
I recently added this Portuguese Victory Medal to my collection.
I have checked the previous discussion on the different types and as I understand this one is an official type 2 version. Am I right with this idea? Is this a period, first strike piece?
Another thing I would like to ask for your opinions. The ribbon of the medal is sadly frayed so I'm thinking about adding some period ribbon material as a replacement. I tried to compare the ribbon material to my other Victory Medals and the closest one in color, touch I found was the ribbon of the French Morlon Victory Medal. Are the portuguese used a distinctive ribbon type for their Victory Medals like the czech or an original period Morlon type ribbon would be a good replacement for this?
Many thanks in advance for your replies.
Kind regards,
Bence
