Netherlands Medals from Dutch Colonel J. van Golen
Jacky replied to Herr General's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
As far as I know, one received a copy of the royal decree, but I think we will have to wait untill the master reveals it all...... he's moving at the moment I thought... Kind regards, Jacky -
Netherlands Medals from Dutch Colonel J. van Golen
Jacky replied to Herr General's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
p.s. How comes he's wearing 4 stars on his OHK, while he has only 3 clasps on his war commemorative cross?? Also what is he wearing just below his button on the first picture?? kind regards, Jacky -
Netherlands Medals from Dutch Colonel J. van Golen
Jacky replied to Herr General's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Hello Hendrik, this is indeed a nice bar, but the 4days marching cross was allowed to wear permanently as is any other medal of the Netherlands, as it's also a royal decoration in the netherlands. Your description of the restriction is for the belgian medal of the march of the IJser if I'm correct. Kind regards, Jacky -
Netherlands Medals from Dutch Colonel J. van Golen
Jacky replied to Herr General's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
So this was the group you mentioned to me?? I'm eager to find out what the pictures looked like. p.s. Victory Medal (United Kingdom) Don't you mean the war medal?? After WW2, no victory medals were handed out... Only for the first world war. Kind regards, Jacky -
the last image is the same as the first, except that it had been washed with soap. kind regards, Jacky

The order of the polar Star, which I sold to Sergei, althoug with quite a hassle and stupid mistakes, but after all things got fixed. I think Sergei likes your opinion on this one too. kind regards, Jacky

I'm not sure that it's the legion of honneur, as it seems to have way to much points on the cross.... The legion d'honneur had 8, 2 on east, 2 on north etc etc But this cross appears to have also points midway of it. The man appears to wear it in the first place, either he's french, but he doesn't look french, or he's portugese which would be consistent with the ribbon frames which are clasps, then the question would be what kind of portugese ODM would look like this? But yes, they're indeed mounted in the portugese way, with the clasps. If the 4th one would be the crimea medal, then should be there a clasp on the medal going in at about 45 decrees over the ribbon. Great dane, the second medal appears to have a star and moon suspender. kind regards, Jacky

Hi, It looks like the third one could be either the order of St Maurice & St Lazarus (not the crown order) The last one could be the spanish Order of Isabella d'Catholica. Kind regards, Jacky

EK All Eras Artistic Crosses
Jacky replied to Jim Baker's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
It just makes me thinking of "Lord of the Rings" "The return of the King" "The eagles are coming.." from.. -
Well Surprising?? The medaille militaire isn't that surprising, it was a medal with very strict rules, thus quite highly prised!!! But then the ordre d LA lib?ration still really should have precedence over the legion d'Honneur!!! Kind regards, Jacky

What do you have that's now worthless?!
Jacky replied to Luftmensch's topic in United States of America
nice grouping!!! I would just keep them and hush up about it!! It's a really nice grouping. Kind regards, Jacky p.s especially the victory medal is nice, 3 clasps and 10 stars. he even needs 2 batons on his ribbon bar, however, it bears only 3 stars each, so he might need 5 batons to denote every thing?? Could you tell me what the stars are denoting?? -
To me it looks like a very asian sun with a character in in. So I think it could be asian.... But then... what was it doing there????? Perhaps a medal collector is now missing one of his pieces Kind regards, Jacky

Hi Eric, Nice pictures!!! I think that the second one from left isn't a civic decoration, it appears to have a thick darker center stripe which could be the Leopold II medal.... But then.. It's in the wrong place..... However I really think that it's not a civic decoration based on it's ribbon. Kind regards, Jacky

Really nice medals!!! I like it... I have only the ribbon of the Fireman and civil guards, got it with some deal and just allow it to sit just in my box... Concerning the Leopold II ribbon, I think it's the knights grade as the medals had a small piece of metal, illustrating the medal, in the color of the medal. Also are knights of Leopold II very very common for veterans of both world wars. Kind regards, Jacky

Netherlands Dutch Carte de Visite's
Jacky replied to Herr General's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Hello Eric, Yes I think it's him too, but I meant the over-flashed breast star below the grandcross of the Military order of William.... Could be the Netherlands lion, but could also be the order of the golden lion of nassau... Perhaps could you identify this breast star?? Kind regards, Jacky -
