The medal:

Hi All

I found this information on an Italian website.

I translate it as is.

=================================

Created on 16.12.1920 based on the joint decision of the Allied Forces to establish the "Victory Medal".

Not all provisions established by international agreement have been met. In particular, should the symbols (or names) of the victorious powers, but it did not.

Under the agreements, the war years were identified: 1914-1918, except in two cases.

Was produced in about 2 million units, making it the third number after the UK and the USA and as France.

Are many known variants.

The first type, the actual distribution, has 6 (Shoe-Sézanne):

- Base: without additional writing to and fro

- 1 "mod G.Orsolini". the front

- 2: "mod G.Orsolini". and "S.Johnson-Milan" in front - behind "G.Villa inc."

- 3 "mod G.Orsolini". and "F.M.Lorioli & Castelli-Milano" in front

- 4: "mod G.Orsolini". and "Sacchini-Milan" in front - behind "G.Villa inc."

- 5: No additional writing. The last two digits on the back is 1915 (MCMXV)

Hello Lambert,

The Romanian vics, both the official stike as well as the myriad of unofficial varieties are seen irregularly in the market. While they are appearing more often in the online auction houses the prices continue their upward spiral and are becoming a bit more difficult to obtain.

If opportunity presents I would try to obtain the official strike first before any of the unofficial varieties.

The same can be said for the award certificates. They are seen on an infrequent basis and always seem to attract a premium price.

Regards,

Rob

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.

Lambert

Lambert

Bem vindo Milton!!! :)

Hello Bill,

I see your collection vic Belgian complete this well. This is very good! Congratulations.

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.

It is the same as the large table medals for WW1 Victory. These small ones were the more affordable alternative.

Made by Japan Mint; sold at Shoubido. The cases often had the name of the seller not the maker. You will also see Mitsukoshi Department Store on many cases for the other Mint medals.

See the bigger ones here: http://imperialjapan...intmedals3.html

Hi All

I took the liberty of copying the information shown by Dieter3 in another topic, to show the Japanese commemorative medal of the Great War.

Dieter3 Posted 04 August 2012 - 03:01

.Appears to be a commemorative medallion, would love some more info if anybody has any. Dated June 28th, 1919 (Taisho 8) - the date of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

Tarnishy and stainy, and the strike seems relatively shallow, but still pretty neat. I'm mostly medals, but I think I might hang on to this one!

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this reads from right to left (top half) - "SEKAI SENEKI KOUWA KUNKI CHOUIN KINEN" - World War (One) Peace Treaty Commemoration". I suspect some of that might be off in the kanji reading.

Bottom from right to left - "TAISHOU HACHINEN ROKUGATSU NIJYUUHACHI NICHI" - Taisho 8th Year (1919) 6th Month, 28th Day

Bottom left corner - "I. Sato" -

Hello Dieter,

Thank you for sharing with us. This is a very iteressante for me .. I really like these commemorative medals of the Great War.

Lambert

Hi Rob!!

A fine example! Still not going to expand my collection of Czech Vic's .. I started with American variants.

But a lot, is very interesting.
