Thank you~~

This factory (Red Star Factory in Moscow) was not an official manufacturer of Soviet state orders and medals. Not sure what would have been issued with this box.

So what kind of goods does this factory manufacturing then?

Any more details about it?

Thanks!

Anyone knows about this issue case?

Which order is issuing with this box actually?

Cheers.

Hi All,

It's in German; but if you need a translation - you can open it in Google Chrome and get a good translation.

Thank you!

Hi All,

My friend said this badge was from Austria. Got not idea..

Need help with it and more information would be thankful.

Hi All,

This is an unfinished badge.

Could anyone tell me what it is? Is it from British?

Size smaller than a zippo.

Thanks.

The shield in the center roughly equates to the Cuban arms, but the details don't match. The pin is more like those seen on costume jewelry from the 1950s, with a "military" motif. Cuban orders of this period were generally made by Vilardebo y Riera of Havana, and the quality of their work matched almost any manufacturer in Europe.

Thank you! JBFloyd.

Got any idea about its name?

Cheers

Hello Danio,

Not French but Belgian, I think. It looks like one of those medals you get at the end of a yearly organized march. Anything on its reverse ?

Hendrik

Hi Hendrik,

It's my friends and I am trying to get some reverse pictures from him.

Could you translate those words on the medal?

Kind regards,

Hi - Dan. This is an interesting badge and much earlier then might be thought. During the later Victorian

period , badges with only the Royal Arms were often worn by Staff Officers - and, officers not attached to

a Regiment.

With your badge, it is almost certainly from the Georgian period (pre-1830). I can actually say that it is between

1801 and 1816. This , of course, was the main part of the Napoleonic Wars.

I can say this because the Lion is not wearing a British crown - but rather the Electoral Bonnet for the Dukes of Hanover.

They became a Kingdom in 1816 and the Bonnet became a Crown. Queen Victoria - through the German

King George 1st. had inherited Hanover.

There is the strong possibility that this could be for King George 3rds. German Legion. Worth checking. Mervyn

Awesome！

Thank you so much, Mervyn.

I really appreciate it.

Dan

Hi All,

Could anyone tell me what this is,please.

I know it's British national emblem. But it seems like a badge.

Any information will be appreciated.

My guess would be a phys ed / gymnastics award...

But I'm sure more knowledgeable members will ID it more precisely for you.

Thank you so much, mate.

A quick Google search shows that the motto "In hoc signo vinces" is a Latin for "in this sign you will conquer". Religious connections, especially with Freemasonry and Knights Templar. According to a wiki: "The symbol is also associated with Freemasony specifically the Knight Templar degree of the York Rite of Freemasonry. The symbol is also known as "Knight Templars Blood-Red Passion Cross and Crown". The cross and crown symbol is often surrounded by the phrase "In Hoc Signo Vinces", which is Latin for "By this sign thou shalt conquer".

Interestingly, according to another wiki, the motto has been adopted by many military units. However, I suspect this is a Freemason associated piece.

These are really helpful!

Thank you so much, IrishGunner.

Dan,

try the Masonic section, Knights Templar?
