alex82 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thank you Paul!So you think the one above is French made an the other one was made in Indochina?I love this Medal and the Dragon of Annam for there fine design!I also mentioned that there are different ribbon colors used on these medals the one above is green/red/green and the other one is yellow/white/yellow, is there any meaning in this to? Sorry for my curiosity but I'm very interested in the history of cambodia and all of indochina as I traveled laos, cambodia and vietnam so many times.cheers a l e xPS: As a relatively new user of this forum I was not sure to post this under french or SEA, so I was looking on the OMSA site where they placed it.

paul wood Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 You are right first French, second locally made. Whenconferred by French authorities to French citizens engaged in service in Cambodia white with orange edges, when conferred by Cambodian government red with green edges. Effectively a French colonial order so arguably should be placed in French forum.All the best,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiDave Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Alex, The second one is lower quality, but is likely made by Delande in Paris. I base this on being identical to the parts which came out of the sale-off of the Delande shop over the past couple years. This medal was issued for over 100 years, and manufactured by many manufactures, so there are many variations over time. See some variations of this medal here: www.indochinamedals.com/cambodia/cm01_royal_order_of_cambodia.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
