    Alexandre,

    Its been a while, but do you mean the National Order of Independence ? There was a collar given, and there existed a grand cross in the regulations, but no known awarding of the grand cross is known.

    Some more info here: www.indochinamedals.com/cambodia/cm02_national_order_of_independence.html

    Perhaps our Indonesia resident member can get a photo of an actual example (if the one given to President Soeharto in April 1968 is in the museum there ?)

    Are you certain there were any regulations which indicated a Grand Cross and other classes?

    I have not seen such a regulation myself. I have seen official booklets on the Royal Orders of the pre-Lon Nol period and only the collar is mentioned.

    Cheers,

    James

    James,

    I would be interested to see any official booklets you mention. I am aware of one booklet which had a picture of the collar - however, of this I have only a copy of the cover and not the booklet...

    John Sylvester's "Orders and Medals of Cambodia and Laos" refers to the other classes. Neither John, Geoff, or any others I previously asked, report having seen the other classes. It may be that they were in the regulations, but never awarded or produced ?

    However, I do have an example of a potentially "local made" medal which could be a lower class of this medal - it is very similar to the collar version but much cruder. But, I have only the pendant...

    Rgds,

    Dave

    Dave,

    I am aware of that reference but I have so far failed to find any actual regulations to back it up, so was wondering if you had actually seen the regulations yourself.

    The cruder version, if a gilt breast badge worn from a medal red ribbon with three blue edge stripes, then that is the National Medal of Independence which was instituted in 1995. Thus not a lower class at all.

    I cannot put my finger on the booklet references at the moment but they date from the period 1964-1968. The first version, if I remember correctly, was issued in celebration of the 10th anniversay of independence.

    Cheers,

    James
