Hi Rob & Jim. I found this, but no photos. http://cas.awm.gov.au/item/RELAWM14824

My new acquisition: Victory Medal, official Portuguese type 2 (Victory Medal) 1916-1918 with ribbon and buckle barbell suspension :love: Lambert

Hello Rob, I agree, I have always sought opportunities to get an official type 1 with affordable price. I have also noticed that there is a certain frequency to Vic Czech, official and unofficial, and decreased Vic Greek type 1. Interestingly, at least one time every two months appears a Cuban Vic. Lambert

Thank Bill I agree with everything! :beer:

Hi Pagan. Good example of a vic official with ribbon apparently in good condition .. interestingly the Greek unofficial vic are increasingly scarce. You will also realize that with the vic Romanian mainly to unofficial. Regards Lambert

Hi All I found it interesting this is unusual claps USN .. but I believe that is a fantasy. WWI USN Interallied Victory Medal Bar "DEFENSIVE SECTOR" Regards Lambert

A Show! Congratulations on your beautiful collection! Lambert

Hi Jim., Excellent example! very good .. I ask the expert ... What Vic U.S. is harder to find nowadays ? Lambert

I think we all came to the consensus or almost ... If the price was more affordable (much) I would not mind acquiring there .. patience .. Lambert

Bem vindo Milton!!! :)

Hello Bill, I see your collection vic Belgian complete this well. This is very good! Congratulations. Regards Lambert

Although I entered the discussion a little late, and perusing all posts I can conclude, on a personal opnion, the medal "silver Vic Romanian" is an issue "private" a medal copy no-offical type 3 here already mentioned by Robw. I believe that this is a "unique item", it is not a scam, I take into consideration that it is possible to be a medal conteporânea the year 20/30. . This course, which its defects and its appearance can find disapproval at first, but still has its historical value. But it is clear that the price charged by the seller, even thinking that this is an item "valuable" (and is not) and extremely insane for this series. Yes it is an interesting piece that adds in the collection, when properly evaluated and fair price. The statement of our colleague Kevin. with competently, proved the existence of numerous variations of local manufacturers Romanians. I agree with Jim in his observation: Officially there are only 2 types of official and other unofficial 3 4 and 5. only .. others are reproductions and copies known .. This exemplor Silver is not recognized as copying or reproduction right? is also not sensible to say that is false until proven otherwise. It is an "independent production" sand casting. Best Regards Lambert
