Missing 8 to "close" the collection Vic

Hi Gavin end Hugh.

I've seen, medals and sets, stored in boxes for cigars!

I know nothing about the past of the former owner .. is a pity ..

I find it interesting how some veterans was careful with his medals. Even without much money to make a frame or a box of luxury ..

Lambert

They simply are two laurel branches of the Belgian "Croix de Guerre" with the monogram of the kings Albert and Leopold.

The Italian WW1 commemorative medals should have the bars with the years from 1915 to 1918 and the bar "Albania".

Best wishes,

Elmar Lang

Thans Elmar!

Yes I know that the bars Originals medal ..

Does the Italian soldier, fought in France or Belgium?

Lambert

I agree.

Never try to clean. It can be disastrous!

Lambert

I have this mini-group with the Order of the Crown, Merito di Guerra, Commemorativa della Guerra 1915-1918 and Victory Medal.

Two Palms on 15/18 commemorative medal ribbon with the letters "A" and "L"

I would like help from friends.

All the Best

Lambert

Lambert

More photos on my blog.

Very nice Lambert! Congratulations!

Would you mind showing a pic of the reverse as well?

I know very little about British medals so always keen to learn.

Gavin

Hello Gavin

As promised, here are some new pictures of the group.

Good holiday everyone!

Brian,

You are correct, with the full-sized they could not be worn on uniform. These were worn by a civilian who unless they went to a Palace reception could wear what they liked. With miniature groups in general many weird and wonderful awards are frequently tagged onto groups.

Paul

I think that this beauty and these groups, the diversity of interesting decorations.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I do not know yet, the rules for the use of British decorations. I'm learning.

soon, more photos.

Lambert

Yes maybe "Rare" is even pretentious,

the word "scarce" is even more appropriate.

I am very happy with the aid of fellow collectors, in helping me with the new collector.

all the best

Hello Noor

This model is called the Old, Pre-WWII, probably before 1934.

This very good:)

It has a standard lock on the ribbon, I will search more and you say something more specific.

Lambert

Hi all !

Created by Decree 4238 of 15 November 1901, is conferred on officers and men of the Army, Navy and Air Force on active service in recognition of good service.

Says the single paragraph of the instructions accompanying the decree that the medal will be gold for the military over 30 years of service, silver for over 20 years, and bronze for over 10 years under the same conditions .

On June 30, 1934, Decree 24 514 modified the previous setting for the medal with 40 years of military service, this shifter in gold with platinum.
