The regulation authorizes the use of army service medals?
as is allowed to use the Victory Medal and Campaign, along with the medals of service that were offered by states and municipalities, as they are not official?

Hi Bill.
It's a beautiful medal, this right is a type Marlon by Janvier-Berchot. Recently I received another Vic French, type Marlon by "Paris Mint cornocopia & BR"

Hi Bill
I talked with Brazilian collectors, and all (that I know) have only the type 2 unmarked.
By the photo it is hard to know for sure. I think it is possible, that Type 1 is very draught for only small naval officers, and subsequently left the medals Type 2 in 1923.
Of course, this does not explain the medal support system (type 1"a")

Hi Alls
Everyone I've ever seen, are of type 2 (without the manufacturer's mark),
Some of those present at the forum, seen even in photos, the type 1 with wire suspension and marking?
Apparently the Medal with cylindrical suspension, there seems to be a copy, the winged figure is exactly identical to type 2. Suggests that is a variant of production?

Hello Jim,
I didn't know the existence of this false Vic Portuguese (signed). Can I conclude then, that there is an Original version signed by author, and then copied.
This information were already known? There is this in the book of Mr. Laslo?
Regards
Lambert
I don't want to make this as absolute truth, unfortunately we need to rely only on what was reported by collectors.
I believe that is valid for the time being, but we should seek more information.

Hi All
While I was looking for more information about the MV Portugal, found another type of signed Medal, from the same manufacturer Portuguese (da Costa) manufactured between 20/30, is a reproduction of the Kind signed by João da Silva (taken as an officer).
I think this is a very hard Type (João da Silva) limited, and only in Portugal, so never appeared in Official catalogues, so very rare.
This type was offered me while repro sought the best-known Vic.
Repro Type "JS"
Detailed photos.
Hi Jim,
Yes, they are sand casting, of poor quality. Unfortunately there's always people willing to throw money away, without the least care.
I tried contacting ebay, but got no answer ..
there is nothing to do.
