Hi,
I have been given a HET BELGISCHE RODE KRUIS Bronze Medallion
in its original round cardboard presentation box which is in good all-round
order. The front of this large, heavy Medallion depicts a Pelican resting on
a shield containing a cross. The reverse has the inscription -
'HET BELGISCHE RODE KRUIS' around the upper rim of the Medallion
& in the centre 'ERKENTELIJKHEID AAN DE BLOEDGEVERS'.
Although I do collect militaria & Medals, I am led to believe this particular
item may be a Belgian Red Cross Medallion and possibly awarded to a
donor who has given 25 pints of blood. I wonder if anyone could
verify I have the correct information & a possible value of such a Medallion?
Kind regards,
Neville.
