This is a very cool site. I use it extensively in my research. Unfortunately it is not complete, but it is very useful . http://www.medailles1914-1918.fr/italieaccueil.html Lambert

" Viene costruito a quota 1.217 slm tra il 1920 e il 1926 per iniziativa della Fondazione "3 novembre 1918 pro combattenti della I Armata", inaugurato il 29 agosto 1926. " It seems I got it right. Lambert I love these Italian Commemorative Medals of the Great War ..

Not sure, but may be the date the medal was awarded ( It's a guess) Lambert

Pasubio is a limestone massif located on the border between the provinces of Vicenza and Trento, bordered by Val Leogra, Passo del Pian delle Fugazze, Vallarsa, Val Terragnolo, Pass of Borcola, Val Posina and Colle Xomo.

OMSA doesn't use the term "fake", but uses the following categories: "Original" means medals authorized by, or produced under contract to, the issuing entity during the period for which the award was authorized or awarded to the recipients of the medal. "Restrike" means medals authorized by, or produced under contract to, the issuing entity after the period for which the award was authorized, and produced using the original dies or molds used to produce the original medals. "Re-Production" means medals authorized by, or produced under contract to, the issuing entity after the period for which the award was authorized, and produced using new dies or molds. "Copy" means a substantially identical duplicate of an authorized medal not authorized by, or under contract to, the issuing entity, which is marked or identified as a copy to prevent confusion with the authorized medal, or otherwise clearly distinguishable from an original, restrike, or re-production. Copies may include contemporary wearing copies, private purchase medals, and collector copies. "Counterfeit" and "Repro" means a substantially identical duplicate of an authorized medal not produced by, or under contract to, the issuing entity, which is not marked as a copy or otherwise easily distinguishable from an original, restrike, or re-production and which a reasonable person could confuse with the authorized medal. "Forgery" - means a medal which has been altered for the purpose of fraudulently increasing its value, for example, by spuriously numbering, naming or renaming a medal, fitting a medal with bars to which the recipient was not entitled, or altering the class of the medal by adding parts, gilding, plating, etcetera. "Specimen" - means original, restrike, or re-production medals originally produced for display, exhibition, or presentation rather than award, and clearly distinguishable from original, restrike, or re-production medals, for example, by being marked "SPECIMEN", "COLLECTOR COPY", or "FOR EXHIBIT ONLY". "Novelty item" means a medal like object which incorporates some design elements of an authorized medal, but which differs substantially in size, shape, color, composition, and/or weight from the authorized medal so that a novice collector would not confuse the novelty item with the authorized medal. Objects that fall into this category can include jewelry, paperweights, coasters, and the like. Lambert

I agree, here it is very still .. It is a great happiness when someone comments something .. Lambert

Hello everyone. I have these Polish medals, but I don't know if they are good. What can you tell me about them? Thanks in advance Lambert

Thank you I have that same thought. Yesterday I had the courage to "dismantle" the Order .. Calm !! She was already with the centerpiece "loose" .. I removed very carefully not to break. And These are the photos of the "dismantle". Let me know what you think.

Hello. As the Medal is not pure silver, I think the medal was "customized" by the veteran. It is not common to see this, but we have examples like the Silver Vic of Jim's Book .. is an exclusive Medal. This is my thinking. Is "10" scratched or embossed? Best Regards Lambert

thank you Well, I was not sure about it .. I thought she might have more delicate details. I have missed the "details" under the smooth enamel without the characteristic geometric shapes of " diamond ". I'll try to make better and more detailed photos. Some manufacturer of lower quality? Thank Lambert

Hope it helps .. are photos from Jim's Book Lambert

Congratulations Oliver .. excellent example, i'm taste the chocolate brown patina. Cheers Lambert

so beautiful! .. I still do not have this .. one day maybe .. Lambert

Hello everyone. I would like opinions on this Order of the Star of Romania (Model 1877-1932) Thank you in advance. Lambert

indeed. Just a thought of mine, I doubt they were real diamonds. Cheers Lambert

exactly. My luck I paid very little for it. The "swords" had been added in a rudimentary manner, I do not believe that it is to falsify, for it is very coarse .. however how much does it affect its value? Cheers Lambert

This medal was in a lot (closed) that acquired a little time, really not what I was not quite the self I expected .. All comments are welcome Lambert

It really is a curious item. I remember the book "Victory Medal" James P. Michels Jr.( johnnymac), page 152 Unknown Type I in silver. Lambert

Sorry, the photo is bad. But I'll explain. The crown and the cross are of the same golden color. I also have another identical one in Silver. Cheers Lambert

It's a silly question, but the Order should have True Diamonds, right? Then the farce would be discovered shortly after the buyer request to check with a specialist. Cheers Lambert

Another of Spanish manufacture. 2

Another of Spanish manufacture. Lambert

Tell me more about it... I actually get this "order" from a lot of Spain .. with many medals from the Spanish Civil War and Blue Division. Now, I think it may have a connection. I know that many German medals have been reproduced after the war, to meet the demand of veterans .. it is possible to see many variants of the 1939 Iron Cross of Spanish manufacture ..( Source: Wehrmacht forum ) here here here here Now I have a way to know the truth. Cheers Lambert is true..

Thank you very much! Lambert
