closer view

note the badge below the medals, it's the symbol of Kasunanan Palace, people call it Robyong Paku Buwono..

Prajurit Kraton Senior (senior palace troops) of Kasunanan Palace wearing ODM..

Hugh, thank you,,

I hope i can be the first who write a book about ODM in Indonesia.. :)

again, collecting and searching information about the ODM of the ruler in Indonesia is very challenging..

One unique fact: Paku Buwono X was know very interested in ODM, he's very proud wearing so many ODM..

You can see him in the photo on my post before..

each ruler issued their own ODM, but almost no information about them!

So sad, almost no one care about it here..! :speechless:

James: you're welcome..

Hugh: i still trying to get contact with the palace to get more info (but it's hard because the conflict that happen on Kasunanan succession and issue that some of the relic ODM was lost!)

Here in Java island (as i knew) there's still 6 palace ruler:

1. Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat (Jogja): Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono

2. Pura Pakualaman (Jogja): Sri Paduka Pakualam

3. Kasunanan Surakarta: SISKS Paku Buwono

4. Mangkunegaran Surakarta: Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Aryo Adipati (KGPAA) Mangkunegara

5. Kasepuhan Cirebon

6. Kanoman Cirebon

Number 1-4 was formed Mataram Sultanate at past, but after a rebellion, Mataram was divided (by politic: divide et impera) becomes Ngayogyakarta and Surakarta, 2 years later each divided again, so it becomes 4..

Number 5-6 was formed Kacirebonan sultanate before divided by Dutch..

thanks Gavin, i'll search more photos for comparisson..

The article writer and the museum keeper don't know about the name of this Medjidie, they just said that it is a medal given by Ottoman Empire..

i almost forgot, the leader of Kasunanan Solo is a Sunan, so they called SISKS: Sampeyandalem Ingkang Sinuhun Kangjeng Sunan..

sorry i forgot edit my post above..:speechless:

Hi Gentlemen, just found this picture from an article about The Museum of Kesultanan Jambi (a sultanate in Sumatra,Indonesia), the article said that this is from Turki Usmani (Turkey Ottoman)

is it medjidie? which class?

this is the 5th class set:

James,

Yes, i assumed that the classes have impact on ribbon's color, i have the picture of a set 5th class (main medal, medium, and miniature) with blue-red-blue-red-blue ribbon, i wanted to post it yesterday but the size of the picture is too big here..

now i'm trying to get contact with Kasunanan Palace to obtain more information about their odm..

I hope i can get it soon..

Loyalty in Javanese term is 'Kasatyan' (comes from the word 'satya'), in Bahasa it becomes 'Kesetiaan'..

oh, and please be careful when you buy surakarta odm, many of them bad repair, or bad repaint..

And sometime the seller expect too much from foreigner (i ever see a poor condition east dutch indies copper medal priced more than $5000, and i'm sure that the fair value is not more than $40!)

And till now there many unclear information about the odm..

asking the expert like James will be better before you decide to buy.. :)

hi james hoard,

i have a picture of loyalty 1st class with red-white-red-white red as same as your photo above and a also have the picture of 2nd and 3rd class that have white-red-white-red-white ribbon as same as my picture above..

order of loyalty 3rd class Kraton Kasunanan Surakarta with original case, from SISKS Paku Buwono X

It's great to have a Bahasa speaker on the Forum!

thanks Hugh, i was born in Java, so i can speak both Bahasa and Javanese, both are my mother language..:cheers:

SISKS PAKUBUWONO X wearing a lot of orders and decorations..

SAMPEYANDALEM INGKANG SINUHUN KANJENG SULTAN (SISKS) PAKUBUWONO XII wearing kasenapaten

Kasenapaten, comes from word "senopati" which means the high commander (usually refers to the Sultan/King as supreme leader and commander)

hi, very nice destroyer badge..

windu

Hi mervyn..

The volcano didn't caught me but the very tiny volcano's ashes scratch some parts my motorcycle..

The exam? I didn't do it well, but thanks god i passed it..

Well, i just found this photo on my friend's facebook album, and i surprised that he has them..

I never see antique guns here except on museum..

Also, having a gun is very difficult here (gun law is very strict)

then..

my friend have some old gun, maybe someone here can identify them and how much are their value?

I love the design of no 4 and 6, very beautiful..:love:

I'm sorry but it looks suspicious for me...:unsure:
