Hi Tony.

Maybe I'll leave it like that.

Thank you.

Lambert

I'm in doubt how to do this?

There seems, but is very dirty.

Lambert

This another example of the Diploma of Victory Medal Brazil, but that the very rare medal, and often more expensive.

granted to Sub Officer Carlos Colombo da Fonseca in 1932.

Hello Paul,

Welcome. His example is a Type 3, different strikes, especially in the form of the bail. This model does not bear the signature of the sculptor and, on the reverse, absence of the Greek article " O ".

Lambert

Hello.

The origin of interesting emblem.
Due to internal criticism, it was said that it was easier to "a snake smoking" than Brazil send soldiers to war. The emblem arose because of this provocation.

The snake smoked! A Cobra Fumou!

Lambert

Nice!!It is an ancient emblem of the veterans of the FEB (Brazilian Expeditionary Force)

Hello Jean.

Although it is expensive, but I would pay this amount: Reasons for it. Item very rare, only seen in books and catalogs and museums, these medals were given to senior officers (majors, generals, marshals), the "passador' is made of solid gold and is in perfect condition.

Yes!

good luck

Lambert

Another Greek group for consideration.
see how they were assembled improvised way.

Lambert

Well.. found it very expensive,

but I can not compare the prices because I did not find similar items here in Brazil, this medal with "passador" is rarely seen.

Lambert

Hi Tim.

Unfortunately it is not opening

Lambert

Sorry.
Yes that's what I meant ...


I like to observe how they were assembled. some are montandos by professional companies for other fighters proud but with limited resources. these are quite interesting.

Lambert

"Thanks Lambert for your reply an explanation. It all makes sense to me now.

By the way, I have seen for sale on eBay a cross bearing a GOLD "passador" with a STAR in its middle instead of a number. Why a star?   "

Hi.

"Passador" in gold for Argentine or Uruguayan allies

Lambert

Hello Tim,

could post pictures of brings the Greek group? I like to see how they were assembled.

Lambert

Hi Jean.

I can see it? please send by private message.

Lambert

Hi Jean

I believe may have been awarded to bureaucratic personnel, but it is certain that the "passador" without number ("0") is for military personnel serving less than nine months in the campaign.

low see a selection of dowels in silver and bronze manufacturing by Casa da Moeda (the ''passador'' were arranged this way just for this, and was used only a "passador" on the medal).

Lambert

Glad you recovered this family heirloom.

Who would they ??They are in Ebay.de? 

Lambert

Hello gentlemen.

After many years of search, I present my example of Rare Victory Medal Brazil Type 2 Official (unmarked), for the veterans of the Navy and Volunteer Doctors sent to France.

I will try to make better photos.

Best Regards

Lambert
