more photos

Hi, one of my friend offered this dagger, anyone can identify whether it's original or not and how much is the fair value?

i'm sorry, all of them are fake, they are modern piece-antiqued.. i've been fooled too when i'm first entering medal collection..

Photo of young SISKS Pakoe Boewono X (Ruler of Kasunanan), note he wearing Breast badge and neck badge of Order of White Elephant old style..

Hi, can you post closer photo to the arabic inscription on it's observe?

this is a beautiful group! a family treasure..! :cheers:

what a touching story, a little brave man, very very brave! Unfortunately he lost his life.. :(

The exact same ribbon bar is also on sale in another thread with some other long ribbon bar that looks very clean.. The seller is also the same person.. Windu

yes, i also see it..

Mas Handoko, not this time Sir.. ,, Mervyn, yes, I hope some meteorites collector here will post their collection with more information here.. This iron meteorite is small, but it weigh about 448grams and haven't been splitted by man, it comes as it seen.. -aah, it was either splitted by atmosfer or ground when it came to earth- Windu

Sami2 pak, monggo kita tansah nguri-uri kabudayan bangsa.. Mervyn, still a long way to write a book, this just the BASIC.. :)

I have seen a thread about Iron Meteorites in Lounge, but I think it will be more appropriate to post abut it here. Well, I just have this one, Campo del Cielo Iron meteorite, about 448grams Post yours, Gentlemen! Windu

Awesome! Especially the 1st picture.. :D

the last one seems to be the Hungarian..

Well Emmanuel, James had a good point, however i spotted differences in the inscription, and that's make me confuse, see the pictures below: See the inscription: above: both are same: Pakubuwana the center: indicates the class (1st picture: 3rd class, 2nd picture:4th class) below: the mystery star stated: Sri-?-?-ya, and the other one stated clearly Sri Nugraha My opinion: It's possibly the Sri Nugraha Star but the maker is not good enough in the inscription process (the maker probably not from local here).. Windu

I think it's not a loyalty cross, but a kind commemoration cross. The inscription says: Observe: Up: Karaton dalem Surakarta (:Surakarta Palace) Center: PBX (:Pakoe Boewono X) Below: 200 tahun (200years) Reverse: 17 Mukaram Je 1670-1870 (200 years of Surakarta Palace, in Javanese year)

very nice display!! who's the man on the left picture?

Hello, the bar read: sepuluh tahun (ten years), so i think it's a 10 years bar on a service medal of police.. hope this help.. Windu

Hi, -that gold gilded loyalty cross from Kasunanan palace maybe for high class officer/priyayi/royal family. i don't have much information about this, there is also possibility that the recipient gilded it so it appears more "bling-bling".. Emmanuel, can you post larger observe picture of the cross so i can read the inscription clearly? -Some information regarding Angkatan 45 star: this star considered a commemoration of independence war 1945-1949, issued in late 90's, all living recipient of Bintang Gerilya can have this medal.. SISKS Pakubuwono XII also have this star as a supplement for his gerilya star..

Order of Iron Crown? but the sash is different?? Windu

Hi Emmanuel, You right, the museum is super and worth to visit, all gifts and souvenirs that given to Soeharto from around the world are in that museum.. From order&medal (some of them are really rare!), paintings, ivories, huge jade ship, paintings, clothes&accesories, and many more.. If you visit Jakarta, you MUST visit that place.. Windu
