Hello Peron.

Read somewhere that, by Decree n-6: 756, July 10, 1920, those who were imprisoned by the enemy but received no summons or an award used the star in the Ribbon. You know something different about the use of the star.

Hello All ..

I have been a time away from the forum for professional reasons .. but I'm back.

I bought for two copies of recent knowledge of Vic Vic Brazil and Cuba a well known british seller.

The copy Brazilian is the easiest to identify, recalls the original medal, but contains many errors. It is a copy that you need not worry about it.

The copy Cuban has a lot details that can confuse an inexperienced collector, but even then it is easy to identify.

Hi Gents - it just so happens that I have just downloaded the pictures that accompany the Cuban item:

The details state that the obverse is marked CHOBILLON. There is a triangle mark on the edge, but I'm not sure what the mark well to the right of it is.

Asking price US$1,199.99.

Bill

Hi Bill !!

The picture is not good, so there is no way of knowing for sure, but I think she's too polished.

:whistle:

Lambert

As you can see many and diferent are they but only one thing is the same, the use of a buckle...the meaning of wearing it I believe is only decorative.

Your other question about the meaning of the star on the buckle of the VM I thing is because it was awarded to an oficial for regular soldiers there is none...

And your buckle with 2 stars never seen one like it, and I believe it can only be an adaptation...probably from this brazilian one:

10 years Bronze , 1 star

20 years Silver, 2 stars

30 years Golden, 3 stars

40 years Gold , 4 stars

50 years Platinum , 5 stars

Boas Vindas Peron, !!!

É sempre bom ter alguém do mesmo idioma. Tenho várias questões para te perguntar sobre as variações da Vic Portuguesa. que ainda são (para mim) bem confusas.

Espero que sempre esteja conosco nesse forúm.

Atenciosamente.

Welcome Peron,!

I have several questions to ask you about the variations of Portuguese Vic. that are still (for me) and confusing.

I hope to always be with us on this forum.

Hi Jim.

I was wrong about the Italian Vic dated 1915 - 1918, did not know the "type 5" described by Mr. Laslo.

Sorry my information wrong.

Lambert

Hello Jim.

I do not know this kind, some model is dated to 1915-1918 Vic's Italian?

I know that some diplome of the commemorative medal for 1915-1918, authorized the use of the medal or Allied Victory together.

Diploma Commemorative Medal 1915-1918 with additional comment (see below) allowing the wearing of the medal or Allied Victory: so this is a "double degree".

Lambert

Hi Rob.

I did several searches using key words in Czech

"Medaily prvého víťazstva svetovej vojny" "Náhľad medaily víťazstvo" " prvá svetová vojna"

.. but did not show anything about Vic Czech miniatures or similar medals.

I also looked on Ebay Czech, nothing ...

Maybe I have better luck later.

If I get something, I'll let you know.

Regards

Lambert

Hi Rob ..

Really do not know ..

Lambert

This other, a veteran and his medals .. !

During WW1, Black soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force were grouped in two divisions (92nd and 93rd) and fought under operational control of the French High Command. Most awards for bravery to these soldiers were in the form of the Croix de Guerre, such as to LTC Otis Duncan, the highest-ranked Black Soldier in the AEF (http://en.wikipedia..../Otis_B._Duncan). The 369th Sustainment Brigade is the lineal descendant of the 369th Infantry (http://en.wikipedia....em_Hellfighters) and has the right to display the Croix de Guerre as a unit citation; its members wear a fourragere in the green/red colors of that medal while assigned to the unit.

Hi All

I have a picture of it. Even in France in 1918.

Lambert

Hello All.

He arrived a few days this simple pair of Belgian WWI. Vic an officer and a commemorative medal 1914/18 with two silver bars, and a bar Widow.

A sad reminder ..

Lambert

:D

Cheers !

Hi Rayjin

I think Bill or Robw can better respond to the question, I do not have much knowledge of the model Pautot-Mattei.

Regards

Lambert

:D thanks Nick . !!

Very interesting to see this piece so rare.

Arigatô!

Lambert

Friends.

Sorry for my absence, I am very busy with personal issue.

Regards

Lambert

Hi Bill,

The problem with modern replacement ribbons, and justly, weaving too thick. I do not like this kind of texture. It is common to find copies of the Ribbon in vic rare. But I know that there Ribbons best quality, almost like the originals.

Lambert

Here we have photo of japanese major ( ) with this (and many others) medal.

Regards,

Nick

I'm not sure, but maybe during WWI, the rivalry between China and Japan, were not so fierce.

Since the medal was given only to government officials and Allied officers.

Lambert

Hi Nick

Thanks for helping. This is the first time I see a picture with this medal in use .. !
