    1. Hello everyone. I already knew this defect, it's just a wrong soldering. the last clap no spacers.
    2. Thanks Rob! Your response is entirely plausible. I had this doubt for a long time .. would think it was a fake, then placed to appreciate the Medal. Lambert
    3. This is another of my collection Victory Medal Czech. Medal Type 2. Signature of the sculptor O. Cavalier on the obverse. Manufacture of Kremnica Mincovňa. Lambert
    4. 1st type : model made by the Casa da Moeda Rio de Janeiro (the equivalent of the Monnaie de Paris in France). It is a bronze cross and hit very flat in one piece. The center of the obverse shows the Southern Cross found on the Brazilian national flag. On the edge of the bottom branch is the inscription Casa da Moeda , and on the edge of the left branch, registration Rio . This first type is the official model. So I was wrong. This medal is a type 2. (unmarked) Lambert
    5. Commemorative Cross 1917-1918, Type 1 Tape fighter, obverse and reverse. Commemorative Cross 1917-1918, Type 2 tape fighter, obverse and reverse. Commemorative Cross 1917-1918, type 3, non-combatant ribbon, obverse and reverse. On the obverse, on the upper branch of the cross is the Roman numeral II (Private etching according to the authors cited above) that refers to the two halves of war to which the recipient would have participated ... Commemorative Cross 1917-1918, Type 4 tape fighter, obverse and reverse. I got 99% that this is the Type 1 Lambert .
    6. It was founded in August 1922 to honor all those who participated, apart from the Brazilian territory, operations related to the First World War between 26 October 1917 and November 11, 1918. It is therefore not, as is often read, a Croix de Guerre but a commemorative medal shaped cross. To distinguish between combatants and noncombatants (medical personnel, crews of the merchant marine, administrative staff), the order of creation includes two ribbons: Veterans : orange with three black stripes 3mm wide, one center and two sides. It covers all military personnel, the vast majority of recipients who served in the Navy. According to Nat Futterman and Jeffrey Floyd - "Brazil's Cross Campaign 1917-1918" , The Medal Collector (OMSA), March 1996 - the number of beneficiaries would be around 960.noncombatants : the same except that the stripes are white instead of black. According to the same sources, the number of claimants for this alternative band would be around 360. There are several manufactures who can sketch a typology. 1st type : model made by the Casa da Moeda Rio de Janeiro (the equivalent of the Monnaie de Paris in France). It is a bronze cross and hit very flat in one piece. The center of the obverse shows the Southern Cross found on the Brazilian national flag. On the edge of the bottom branch is the inscription Casa da Moeda , and on the edge of the left branch, registration Rio . This first type is the official model. 2nd type : it is identical to the previous model but it would be a privately held manufacturing may be used across the Rio de la Monnaie. The big difference is the lack of markings on the branches. 3rd kind : model also manufacture private, probably Brazil, but with significant differences compared with the two previous types. 4th type : French made (it is found on the catalog Delande 1934), it is sometimes considered a "copy" for collectors. Her appearance betrays its origins as it is developed as the French Croix de Guerre: fairly thick, the centers reported and a grainy background. In addition, he is the only one to carry on the obverse, in the upper branch of the cross, the Roman numeral VIII to recall the 8 semesters long war. Cest probably the model more "common". The original text in French. was translated into English. Lambert

    10. Maybe this is here, but is not Medal of Honor. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is one of the oldest U.S. charitable organizations, formed in 1899. All members are current or former active duty servicemen who have spent time overseas in a conflict and have been decorated with an expeditionary medal, spent 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days in Korea, or have ever received hostile fire or imminent danger pay.

    14. World War I Units of the 28th Infantry Division , known at the time as the 7th Division, were called to active duty for the Mexican Border incidents in 1916. Pennsylvania's 7th Division was ordered to active duty at camp Hancock, Georgia, on July 15, 1917. On October 11, 1917, the Division was reorganized as the 28th Division while it was still training in Georgia. The 28th Division arrived in France on May 18, 1918. It was committed to battle on July 14. Soldiers of the Division participated in six major campaigns----Champagne, Champagne-Marne, Aisne- Marne, Oise-Marne, Lorraine, and Meuse-Argonne. During those campaigns, over 14,000 battle casu- alties were suffered the division. Its fierce combat abilities earned it the title "Iron Division" from General of the Armies John J. Pershing. a medal is pretty cool, but my question is. there is still spare this medal? This medal is my recent models? Thanks Lambert
