I agree, my bid was covered very quickly.

Well, it's a very interesting item for the collection, but I think it deserves a note ..

Well. I do not think the configuration is possible.

• DOSS'ALTO (Legion of Czechoslovakia on the Italian front September 21, 1918)
  
• Zborov (commemorates the creation of two regiments 6th and 7th who escaped the siege of the Austro-German forces in Ukraine)
  
• SIBIR (commemorates the Czechoslovakian forces in Siberia)
  
• PERONNE (He was quoted by V. Mericka recalls the struggle for this sector, the "Nazdar".)
  
• ARGONNY (France 22 to 21 regiments and Terron Vouziers in September 1918)
  
• and BACHMAC (commemorating the battle that gave the victory of the Czech Division (1st, 2nd Regiment, 3rd and 4th of Fusiliers) in July 1917.).

Hi Bill,

See this item on Ebay, said to be Belgian, but I believe it is a Rare Vic Belgian manufacturing (Manufacturing Riemer) for the Czech. It still has various clips .. No doubt a very interesting Vic!

Hi Bill,

Good Example!

I will provide better images of my medal.

I bought in London (Ebay) for a price very pleasant,

The medal is Type 2, and finishing "golden" is well spent, of course, the darker bronze appear below, and the Ribbon has seen better days, though I have sought a replacement for her. It is a ribbon later, maybe 1945-48.

Your example is much better than my VIC, really enjoyed it.!

Lambert

Hello, VC89

Welcome to the group, feel the desire to ask.

The MV Portugal, in my opinion, is one of the most copied medals, what little researched (with the help of this forum) I can say that these are modern copies of private manufacturing, Repro not consider unofficial. Possibly medals were made to supply the local market.

Please take this as personal opnion. And any member of GMIC, may disagree or add comments

Regards

Lambert

Great observation Rob.

I made a list of my observations about each Medal and the difficulty of Acquire, also believe that each collector has his or interpretations of each one listed Vic.

I'm checking is not yet concrete.

But one can exitir Repro of Brazilian VIC. made in Brazil in 2000, the National Association of Vetaranos Brazilian Expeditionary Force (ANVFEB) to decorate elements that have contributed to the memory of the War I in Brazil.

I have no information, I'll try to get more

Hi Bill,

At some time, I am discovering many variations of Vic Portugal. I now know that there are alternatives other local manufacturers.

Lambert

Hello All!

I received yesterday, coming from Romania.

My Romanian VIC, unofficial type 1, I believe that this type was made ​​in France.

Lambert

Hi Bill,

Replacement is not, was loose when I bought, I suspect that is Belgian. But it is original.

Lambert

close.

Lambert

Hello All.

I have some photos of my vic Greek, I got with the help of a great collaborated this Forum.

The original ribbon was "retired" because it was very fragile, and was replaced.

Not sure, but I believe that this ribbon is Belgian, remained so until I got a French ribbon.

I will try to get more detailed photos..

lambert

Hi Rob,

Do not have marks on the edges.

I spoke with the seller, he tells me that this is the medal (Type 1), Manufacturing Portuguese (F. Costa - Lisbon), I understand that there is other alternatives from other manufacturers?

Last one for today

Tapper og Tro medaljen 1944

Bravery and Loyality Cross (Quisling Cross)

Bronze Latin cross with out-turned ends to the arms, crossed swords between the arms, with loop for ribbon suspension; the face with ‘Sun Eagle’ symbol of the Nasjonal Samling, being a circular gilt-edged red enamel disc bearing a gold cross, a gilt eagle with wings outstretched above; the reverse inscribed ‘TAPPER OG TRO’ in ‘Nordic’ script; on original ribbon with top bar mounted for wear. The Cross began life as the ‘Order for Bravery and Loyalty’, instituted by the collaborationist Nasjonal Samling government under Vidkun Quisling to be awarded to Norwegian combat forces on the same basis as the German Iron Cross. Shortly afterwards, however, Josef Terboven, German Reichskommissar of Norway, dictated that only German awards were to be worn by Norwegian collaborationist forces. (Terboven and Quisling has a long history of rivalry and disagreement with Terboven doing his utmost to minimise the influence of Quisling, despite the orders of Adolf Hitler to help build the Nasjonal Samling). The Order was thus awarded for only a very brief period. In 1944, a very few examples had the ‘Sun Eagle’ symbol affixed to the face, covering the date ‘1941’ in ‘Nordic’ script and were awarded to members of the Nasjonal Samling, such awards being referred to as ‘politisk utgave’ (political awards). After Allied victory in May 1945, recipients of the award naturally did everything possible to conceal the fact. As a consequence, it is extremely rare.

and

Unlike the German Medals and Orders of 1933/45, this does not have a swastika. I've never seen anything like it, very interesting.

lambert

and it came with this one.

Hi JT

"Deutsche Verdienstmedaille" is GermanOrder of Merit.

Lambert

Very good!

lambert

Hello all.

This is another example of Vic Italia (Milano SJ.) with long ribbon, in very good condition. reverse signed G. Villa.

Lambert

Hello All.

This example of Vic Portugal was offered me. I believe to be the type manufactured by French firm of M. Delande (Paris)

Let me know what you think.

Lambert

Fine medals! It has a wide variety of ornaments on the Ribbon.

Lambert

Exactly, I knew that kind, Silver gilt (deluxe models).

There are many variations of manufacture, as well as luxury models in precious metals: silver, vermeil, gold (this last I must confess I never saw.)

lambert

Ok Douglas,

Fico aguardando.
