Hi Herman,

Each medal you find has its own story, and as Rob stated all collectibles should be left alone. There is no real value to be added to it if you change it. As I say, we do not own these items we are just the care takers.

Regards Jim

you are absolutely right.

Very nice !  

Yes it's right.  

This is mine .. but it does not have the Iron Cross.

Authentc. 

I'd leave it as it is. Just clean it better. 

Yes, 75.00 $  is very cheap for an original Vic Cuba, do not say that this could not happen because it happened to me, I acquired rare Vics with an excellent price. But it is good to be sure that it is really original or an original variant of the same era.

Here I rescued the advertisement and seller of my Cuban copy.

"and this seems to be the first time I've been fooled. "

This sometimes happens, serves as learning.

Good luck!

I have a MV Cuba that I bought on Ebay.uk. Sold as a copy (in Copper) that exactly matches the one in your post, is the same mold, with the same defects.
look here. The right is mine.

The edges of Vic Cubana are not irregular like these. Could you get photos of the sides of the medal?

Photos like this:

Disregard the marks .. I want to see if the edges are regular

Hi David .

I would not buy that. I believe it is false.

Lambert

Hello Bilco. All right?
Yes it is a possibility that should be explored ..
Thank you!

Lambert

Well .. so far nothing. But I keep researching.
thank you all.

Best Regards

Lambert

Typical Spanish brooch. But I have not been able to identify what medal until now.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Lambert

Unfortunately I do not know.

Hi Carol .

These are the photos you asked me, I believe to be from the postwar period 1916-18?  I guess..

Lambert .

Hello Demir.

I have the same doubt about this example. What do you think?

Best Regards

Lambert

Wow !!! Perfect !

Congratulations David .. great acquisition! !

Lambert, can you post a good image of the cypher of Queen Maria? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I can do this soon

Thank you--See he received a Leopold with swords, perhaps during the visit?

Looks like a match!!  First image I've seen of a Brazilian wearing the 1920 Belgian Medal of the Royal Visit to Brazil.  Have you details of his Japanese involvement?

Unfortunately I do not have...

Here is another photo: Admiral Henrique Aristides Guilhem  in 1939. (No Japanese medals and orders. Just the example of Medal of the Royal Visit to Brazil)

Cheers

Lambert

someone ?

It is probable that it was Vice-Admiral Carlos Augusto Gaston Lavigne.

Photos of some miniatures of Japanese Orders and Medals. They were awarded to a Brazilian Admiral of the First World War.Unfortunately they are not mine. Note that there are some rare medals.

Cheers
