Hi Christian,
Thank you very much! Now I feel stupid, I could have known this one, they are widely issued to the Dutch, but not allowed to wear on the uniform. But we keep seeing them from many missions, but I had never seen this one, till now.
Thanks again!

Hello Ali Nouman,
Might be the Israeli's medal for service. Issued for diplomatic (military) service by the IDF.

Hello, yes this grouping seems fine, but be aware: from left to right the medal number 1,2,3,5 and 6 are copies for sure, the others might be originals! But a very possible group.

Hi Nick,
It is a coin of the South Korean military academy, but that is how far I got.
I do not know why it is issued.

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.

Hi Herman,
Maybe J. Le Heux from the Dutch Artillery?

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!

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

Hello,
Does anyone know if there are any copies of the Polish campaign stars? And how can you distinguish an original star?

Hi Nick,
Not exactly, these medals are for duty only. For the peace missions the Norwegians have other medals.

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.

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.

Hi OvBacon,
Yes, that is the final missing link, you where right, the last medal is the 1948 inauguration medal.

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

Hi OvBacon,
Looks like the Belgium order of Leopold , officer to me, which was more common with the Dutch lion order.
Cheers

Could be the Belgium order of the Crown, but that depends if the colour is more burgundy rather than Violet.

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

Hi John,
Hard to say, at first sight looks gilt to me, but the markings may conclude it. Are there any markings? Usually at the connection between the planchet and the crown, and/or on the medal ring.

Danish Jutlandia 1951 expedition
in Northern European & Baltic States
Posted
Hi,
Is there anyone who has the book by Kai Hammerich on the Jultandia expedition? I am researching the Danish medal recipients and need the personnel list of the 1951 expedition.
I believe it is in annex G of this book:
Officiel beretning om Jutlandia Ekspeditionen, by the Expedition Commander, Captain Kai Hammerich, Copenhagen, 1954
This would help me very much.
