Regards Lambert

Hello All! Camo has promised, photos of my closest Vic Czech Type 2 , note the very worn and fragile ribbon ... (I'm looking for a replacement)

Hi VC89. I'm sorry, ... but this is definitely not good ... Regards Lambert

Hi RH Type 2. This is the most common model with a diamond-shaped bail welded to the medal. is the mark on the medal E. Fraser. (Sculptor James E. Fraser) regards Lambert

Bill Exactly! I have a more detailed text (in Portuguese) on my blog. http://medalhasdeguerra.blogspot.com.br/ Well. Say it was very agile. being in France and Italy in almost the same time. :D Regards lambert

I agree, my bid was covered very quickly. Well, it's a very interesting item for the collection, but I think it deserves a note .. Well. I do not think the configuration is possible. DOSS'ALTO (Legion of Czechoslovakia on the Italian front September 21, 1918) Zborov (commemorates the creation of two regiments 6th and 7th who escaped the siege of the Austro-German forces in Ukraine) SIBIR (commemorates the Czechoslovakian forces in Siberia) PERONNE (He was quoted by V. Mericka recalls the struggle for this sector, the "Nazdar".) ARGONNY (France 22 to 21 regiments and Terron Vouziers in September 1918) and BACHMAC (commemorating the battle that gave the victory of the Czech Division (1st, 2nd Regiment, 3rd and 4th of Fusiliers) in July 1917.).

Hi Bill, See this item on Ebay, said to be Belgian, but I believe it is a Rare Vic Belgian manufacturing (Manufacturing Riemer) for the Czech. It still has various clips .. No doubt a very interesting Vic! http://www.ebay.com/itm/140740259407?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 lambert

Hi Bill, Good Example! I will provide better images of my medal. I bought in London (Ebay) for a price very pleasant, The medal is Type 2, and finishing "golden" is well spent, of course, the darker bronze appear below, and the Ribbon has seen better days, though I have sought a replacement for her. It is a ribbon later, maybe 1945-48. Your example is much better than my VIC, really enjoyed it.! Regards Lambert

Hello, VC89 Welcome to the group, feel the desire to ask. The MV Portugal, in my opinion, is one of the most copied medals, what little researched (with the help of this forum) I can say that these are modern copies of private manufacturing, Repro not consider unofficial. Possibly medals were made to supply the local market. Please take this as personal opnion. And any member of GMIC, may disagree or add comments Regards Lambert

Great observation Rob. I made a list of my observations about each Medal and the difficulty of Acquire, also believe that each collector has his or interpretations of each one listed Vic. I'm checking is not yet concrete. But one can exitir Repro of Brazilian VIC. made in Brazil in 2000, the National Association of Vetaranos Brazilian Expeditionary Force (ANVFEB) to decorate elements that have contributed to the memory of the War I in Brazil. I have no information, I'll try to get more lambert

Hi Rob, Do not have marks on the edges. I spoke with the seller, he tells me that this is the medal (Type 1), Manufacturing Portuguese (F. Costa - Lisbon), I understand that there is other alternatives from other manufacturers? Lambert

Unlike the German Medals and Orders of 1933/45, this does not have a swastika. I've never seen anything like it, very interesting. lambert
