Stuka f Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not much else to do, then to sit still and heal, after a tendon tear in my right arm.... So I tought why not start a thread with Belgian medals makers and retailers. With the pile of medal boxes I have that might take some posts. Let's start with the greatest name; Fonson. Next is Fish, a old one and the modern one; Van Look from Antwerp, also two different one's, two different adresses too; Walravens; Wolfers; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally get my medals from local auction houses, thing is your never sure the right medals still are in the right boxes. I make a pic the way they got in, and then keep the boxes separtly from the medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieter1012 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Just saw this interesting topic. Here pictures of an Leopold order and case made by C.J. Buls I have in my collection. He was the first Belgium manufacturer of the Leopold order, starting around 1850. Before that the Leopold order was made by Dutalis in Paris. As you can see the maker's mark is not inside the lid of the case, but a sticker on the bottom. Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VC89 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Widow (Vve, veuve) of Fernand Heremans? I can't find anything about it ... i have searched in the almanac of the city of Brussels but can't find it at this adress. Since the street (Avenue Emile Verhaeren) was build in 1907-1908 it can not be earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 It must be after 1951 as he was known to have made early bilingual insignia and he was at 9 Rue de Ruche in the 1940s Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
