Belgian Croix de Guerre UK production question

[Vatjan]

Since the Belgian Croix de Guerre is not produced by the State Mint but rather by private manufacturers, there exist a lot of variations for this medal.

Now, I have been able to distinguish, by looking through old catalogues, different models made in France.

Surely some industrious british medal maker must have had the splendid idea of producing Belgian Croix de Guerre to replace lost medals or offer as duplicates.

Does anyone have a catalogue of such a medallist with a pic of the CdG, or does anyone have a CdG in an original British box?

In short anything that might help distinguish an English variation from a Belgian one.

Thanks for your help

However, maybe is the right forum for this question

the forum concerning the belgian / french and other countries ??? ?

However I'm yet very curious about the difference between French manufacturers and Belgian manufacturers!!!

Since this question is aimed directly at British medal collectors, I think this is the good subforum for this question.

Still a lot of work ahead before this project comes to an end, but will share whatever info I have.

Best regards
