Hi Luojie, The ribbon looks the same indeed, but the medal does not. It seems a combination of the meritorious medal and the liberation medal ribbon. Cheers Sampo

Decorations of Marius Cornelis van Houten
Sampo replied to laurentius's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Hi Laurentius, This is the official group of M C van Houten. It was donated to the National Military Museum, and was recently restaurated. So yes, this is his actual group! Cheers Sampo -
Hello, Is there a date of manufacturing in the uniform? If this is made during WW2, the medals are likely the Order of Orange Nassau (medal grade in silver or gold) and a NCO Loyal Service medal for 36 or 24 years of service. The medals for actions in the second world war came from 1948 onward. Or a Loyal service medal and a 14-18 mobilization cross and a loyal service medal. Or a loyal service medal and a cross for important war actions. The possibilities are wide. When we know the date, we can start from there, a name would even be better! Cheers Sampo

Hi Nick, Not exactly, these medals are for duty only. For the peace missions the Norwegians have other medals. Cheers -
Hi, Most likely he has received it in his position of Minister of Foreign Affairs (1956-1971). There was a state visit of Nepal in 1967. Sampo

Hi Nick, For the officer Cote D'Ivoire, the missing thing in the lower right corner is a button device. These Usually go between 60-90 euro. Cheers Sampo

Sampo replied to OvBacon's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Hi OvBacon, I think you are pretty close, I see: Not really clear this first one(need better picture, but I am pretty sure it is not the 1948 inauguration medal) Royal wedding medal 1937 War cross 1940-1945 Officer loyal service cross Mobilisation cross 1914-1918 Marching proficiency cross Cheers Sampo -
Hi John, I have checked the books on them, if there are no markings, it is not a gold one. At first sight this looks like a 1960-1980 type made by "van Wielik" The Hague, and they are always gilted. Take care Sampo
