    1. Hello All I had some advances in research on the visit of Marshal Hermes da Fonseca to Germany in 1910. I got a text in German Click on the image to enlarge. Cheers Lambert
    2. Hello Alex, I agree, but I believe that is the Red Ribbon for peacetime, it is very common to see this in Austrian Awards. I'll see some more. Regards Lambert
    3. Hi Tim Thank you It is common to see the Navy Cross recently manufactured, with a Metal Lighter and a well darker patina. It is easy identification. We will try to find information on the Manufacturer "P30" and then identify the time. Lambert semper fidelis
    4. A week bought a lot Medal American "post war". and came one which left me very intrigued. Because it does not look anything like the medals of modern manufacturing we found with ease on ebay. The intriguing is that the Ribbon and the brooch is modern, is marked P-30, however the Cross seems to be older. Any comments would be welcome. Lambert
    5. Thank Mike. I found it very strange especially because it is in bronze and not be named .. I believe the seller is mistaken about being bronze (as a person can not tell the difference !?) I will ask some pictures to clarify this issue. Cheers Lambert
    6. Hi all. Again I ask for help in my search found another South African medal "QSA" with 3 claps. however it is in Bronze (did not know about the Bronze medal) the seller said she apparently has no inscription on the edge (!!!) this is common? Cheers Lambert

    8. Great !! I forgot to mention about the Marechal Hermes, was president of Brazil in 1910-1914. Captain Hermes da Fonseca participated, next to the uncle, Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, the movement of 15 November 1889 (Republic). Years later, Marshal, was elected and sworn in as the eighth President of the Republic. He also participated Brazilian Naval Revolts in 1893-1894 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_da_Fonseca Cheers Lambert
    9. Hi all, I bought a batch of documents to a few days, and found in them a document in German that I do not know what it is. Please could tell what it is? It was awarded to a Brazilian Marshal. Cheers Lambert
    10. Hi All It would be possible to locate the trajectory of this soldier? at where? any information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Lambert
    11. Hello Adria, Good day Diploma on the back of reports that he was awarded the Silver Medal, No. 365, August 23, 1960. Book 1, registration 76. Cheers Lambert
    12. MEDALHA NAVAL COMEMORATIVA DO 5º CENTENÁRIO DA MORTE DO INFANTE D. HENRIQUE. Decree 43085 of July 22, 1960, a naval award was created to celebrate the 5th centenary of the death of Henry the Navigator (1960). It was intended for military and civilian, domestic or foreign, who had contributed prominently in national anniversary celebrations of the death of Prince. The medal was circular, with two classes: gold (1,000 copies) and Silver (2,000 copies); granting was accompanied by the relevant degree numbered respectively 1 to 1000 and 1 to 2,000. (Rarely found medal) Incorporating several Portuguese motifs (Order of Christ and Avis etc). Obverse inscribed: "TALANT DE BIEN FAIRE"; reverse: "QVINTO CENTENÁRIO DA MORTE DO INFANTE D. HENRIQUE".". It turns out that, contrary to stipulated by decree, concessions numbers were not, it seems, respected since they were not granted many medals as allowed, whether the grade gold or silver. The awards took place between the years 1960 and 1963, and the names of awarded (including domestic and foreign institutions, the decree did not provide) have always been published in the Official Gazette of the Portuguese Navy, the "Order to the Army''. Cheers Lambert
