A colleague inform me about this RK, it's quite strange as the marking is "HMA L/12". To my knowledge "L/12" usually accompanied by "800" marking. Another issue is that to my eyes, the ring is slightly dipped into the frame of the Cross (dipping ring?), and as long as I know only Sedlatzek had made that kind of variant, otherwise can be concluded as fake. Therefore I personally think this to be a fake. However I want to hear your opinion, fellow gentlemen as I never seen this kind of marking before.
Thank you,
Windu

Hello gentlemen,
I just offered this KvK with sword 1st class, unmarked.
Is it original? One of my concern is the pin on the back, have it been repaired or changed?
Here's the photo:

Yes Peter, it clearly has been remounted for display..
I believe that they had been mounted before with loose-style medals. The war medal has many dent on it's observe probably resulted from the edges of the Burma Star. But I could be wrong..
You right Peter. It seems that if the soldier had no gallantry medal or mention in despatches, it will be difficult to find the record. Also, "Misri Khan" name was pretty common to be found in Punjab and other nearby region.
But I believe this man was from 6th or 8th battalion as he had Pakistan Independence Medal named. Pakistan gained it independence in 1947 if I'm not mistaken..

Hi Gentlemen,
I just got a medal bar from a Facebook friend, a 4-place medal bar for a bargain price.
The 2 stars are fine, the war medal has many knocks, and in the Pakistan Independence Medal named: 3231734 SEPOY. MISRI KHAN.8.PUNJAB.R.
It doesn't have any pin/needle on the back side.
Is it good or bad? And where can I find more detail about this man?
Here's the photo:
Best regards,
Windu

I recently bought a Vatican Order of St. Sylvester commander class from a local auction, I wonder if there's a name record of the recipients to track down the recipient because I think there's not many from my country (Indonesia).
Cheers,

Thank you for hijacking my thread with such incredible information and outstanding collection Pieter, I owe you!
Do you know when they change the observe seal from lion from looking-to-us-type to looking-inward-type?
This is the first time I saw the star certificate. Fantastic! The certificate belongs to Samadia (local pronounciation could be Sumadia), Depati Mangku (Chief Village) in Pagar Djati, Onderafdeeling Benkoelen-Seloema (present day Bengkulu Province).
About my star, I got this star from a local antique store so I believe this was stored before the war and almost forgotten until one day someone found it and sell it to antique store.

Thanks for this, Windu. I'm guessing there would be lots of these, at least in the lower grades. Do you have any idea about award criteria: Civil vs. military (or both)? Was it an automatic award after a certain number of years of service?
Best,
Hugh
Yes, there were many of them, but most of them didn't survive today. These stars were given to local people of Netherlands Indie (present day Indonesia) who worked for the Netherlands Government. As this star often associated with pro-Netherlands people, I believe most of them were destroyed/thrown away after Indonesian independence in 1945 because people who wear/hold/keep Netherlands-thing in after 1945 to late 1960's (before Papua Integration to Indonesia) were considered traitors. But somehow, some of them are survived and made it's way to antique market..

One the example: Mr N Barus, chief vaccinator in Karo (present day North Sumatra), was awarded Small Silver Star by Mr van Lierre.

When I looking for expedition cross to some antique dealers here in Indonesia, none of them have it, but one of them offered this Ster voor Trouw en Verdienste / Star for Loyalty and Merit complete with it's ribbon and case in very fine condition.
This star established on 1 January 1894 and ceased after 1949.
At first it consists of 4 class:
1. Great Gold Star
2. Small Gold Star
3. Silver Star
4. Bronze Star
in 1924, a new class introduced by then Governor-General of Neth. Indie: the Great Silver Star. Despite the "Great" and "Small" nomenclature, the five grades of the star were all equal in size, consisted of a badge in the form of a 12-pointed star with straight rays, suspended from a ribbon worn on the left chest.
Anyone have the information about the list of recipient of this star?

Hi Emmanuel, I believe "1a circunscripcion" doesn't mean conscription but it means "1st district" as the explanation papers said that the president Emilio Aceval divide the territory to "6 circunscripciones"

Paja and Dragomir, thank you very much for the photos. Amazing research gentlemens!
And I just knew from you that a Sacred Star/Bintang Sakti was awarded to a foreigner, and it's Tito. Sacred Star/Bintang Sakti usually given to Indonesian military personnel for bravery act against enemy. Well, so this one must be special.
