cazack Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thought I would share my first group of Myanmar medals. One is a group of three with the first one having what looks like a palm leaf attachment to it - any ideas what this would be for? I paid a total of $12 for all four and have the miniatures for the group of three which cost $1.00. I have seen lots of other medals in the markets but mostly without ribbons. If I manage to find and buy more will post C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazack Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hello all please find my small but growing collection of Myanmar medal. I would also appreciate any assistance in identifying the awards.I have noticed that trying to buy awards in Myanmar is very mixed as there are a few basic medals displayed on market stall, but the higher end or better items are still very guarded and it takes a level of trust for them to be shown to you. If the seller trusts and likes you and you don't try and drive prices too low they will by all accounts try and get more for you on the next visit to them. I have even had a seller offer me three more Order of the Star of Revolution 3rd class which I am thinking of buying.In regards to the value of Myanmar is there any guide in regards to market value? regards and thanks C ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="793px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="562px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="572px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="404px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="793px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="404px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="572px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="562px" height="750px"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Excellent, thanks for sharing, Info on Burmese ODM is sparse to say the least and what there is is often misleading.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazack Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Paul yes info is very hard to find even in Myanmar not many people can correctly translate the back of the medals, nor tell you what they are given for.The large gold award is a golden jubilee award for the armed forces from 1945 - 1995. What is it given for still not sure, but have been told not vey common and normally given to higher ranking members of the militaryI am hoping to find a ex military serviceman who maybe able to help with some more info on Myanmar awards. Earlier dated awards such as the 1980's are also not as common as awards given in the 1990's on, and sounds like anything after 2000 is not dated as much regards C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazack Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just wanted to share a couple of new medals I found todayThe star I have been informed is a police medal, maybe for bravery and is dated 1987, the second is a Military Officers College / academy 50th Jubilee medal with the dates 1954 - 2004 I hope to have them translated tomorrow and will share if I can get this done C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazack Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) The star reads - National Police Service Medal 1988The medal reads - Defence Service academy golden jubilee 1954 - 2004Both I have been informed where not issued in great numbers and are very hard to findregards Edited April 17, 2015 by cazack addition or text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazack Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hi all just wanted to share what I have been able to find on visits to Myanmar.i have noticed that there are just the usual medals around now and anything on ribbons is becoming hard to find.and any groups much the same regards Caz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazack Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This is a picture of another Sithmuhtan That (with 4 white stripe at right hand side & 5 star on the enameled green bar). That green bar is suppose to be related to the current army rank (not 100 % sure). Below are ribbon bars with Sithmuhtan That ribbon on 2 row from bottom at right hand side, ounce with 3 white, ounce with 2 white stripes. So now you can see exemple of ribbon with 4, 3, 2 white stripes at right hand side (and a very tiny white stripe at left). To add to the mystery, the group posted above is a Sithmuhtan That with NO white stripe at right hand side , but with 2 very small white line at left hand side. Maybe different ribbon for NCO & for Officer ? Even having visiting their brand new Army Museum in Nay Pyi taw is not so easy to understand. It seems there was a system of awards before to 1962 Ne Win Revolution, one for the period 1962-1990....with some changes, and since 1990 there was some new changes in the shapes and ribbons. Emmanuelin regards to the Sithmuhtan That medal the small strip means 5 years service for each stripe, the thick strip means 10 years service regards Caz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heusy68 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Hello Gentlemen, Nice contribution of Antonio with color photo of the highest Awards of Burma/Myanmar. On my last visit a year ago, I got this Title badge (see first photo, it's a similar to the one on the upper row at right hand side). Unfortunately suspension was broken, but I bought it. You cannot come across these just by random…..(I've been to Rangoon 7 times). Size of that badge (without suspension….) : 62 x 60 Millimeters. But Watch carefully the photos provided by Antonio and the black and white photo that was provided by Dragomir years ago, whatch the 3 medals on second row at left (not the last one at right hand side of 2nd row). In January 1979, these 3 Awards were breast badges, now they are neck badges (compare the centers on the photo provided by Antonio today). Best regards to all.

heusy68 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Hello Gentlemen, Hello Damian, In real one of these Title badge I was shown a better photo, it looks like this. On the board presentation photo ( bottom row at left ). Thiri Pyanchi Title. Sadly I was not in SE Asia at the time, so deal was not able to be done, and as it is very heavy almost pure gold (voice recorded message quote a weight of about 99 grammes but as I never got in hands I cannot confirm), price was above the price of what would be a Garter Breast Star in Auction in London. But still I think it's the best ever close up photo I have got. Better to got the photo than got nothing. Regards.

heusy68 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Others good photo of such High Title don't come so easy. Here is a photo of General Min Aung Hlaing Tharay Sithu Title. We can't figure out how heavy this Title neck badge is, but there is 99,99 % chance it's almost pure gold. Best regards to all. Emmanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heusy68 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Here we have a good photo of General Naing Naing Oo with Zeya Kyawhtin Title Again, it is 99,99 % likely it is an almost pure gold neck badge. Regards to all. Emmanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
