    2. Hi Rob. # 4 The medal has no marks, details very bad .. I believe it is a medal at the end of production or the cast was very worn. I make new photos. Medal # 5 is marked on the edge of the foot "Victory" a triangle mark, not sure if it's made in France or Belgium. I also provide pictures that detail. lambert

    4. These are exemplary of my Belgian Vic. in cool conditions. A curious red cross, according to the seller, would be medical staff. others say it may be wounded, an unofficial version? well, only time will tell.
    5. Well Tim, I just thought this hypothesis: This would be one of the most plausible answers, one mistake can always happen in the production of MVs. this was not the first time.
    6. Okay Tim, was a valid suggestion. perhaps able to maintain a common trade, and more reliable provenance. Lambert

    19. The Portugese Victory Medal was created in June 1923 along the lines established in early 1919 and respected by allies that adopt the collective commemorative medal. A diploma is awarded the medal The model is the work of Brazilian writer Jorge Soubre There are two main productions Type 1: the official form produced by the Mint of Rio that bear the marks of the hand (Casa da Moeda - Rio Type 2: the model of private production (Facilities The Royal) identical but unmarked on the side The originals have a patina of your "brown". However, we found more and more often this medal with very dark patina, is a variant of a known or a reissue? In addition, A. Laslo in his book shows a small ring soldered to the medal and through which passes the ribbon ring suspension. It is nevertheless true that, with style Siamese "official" currency of the rarest of the series.
