Hi

_ Where there any original unamed medals ?

Thanks

P.

I'm not familiar with this medal. The eagle most certainly looks contemporary and if you can read the hallmarks, they might indicate when the piece was minted. I suspect it has to do with a veteran's organization. It's very nicely minted; too bad it doesn't have an original ribbon as that would be a clue too.

Hi

Thanks for your help...I must ask someone who can tell me something about those hallmarks!!!!!!

I also have this french? buttoniére too !!!!!!

Can anyone identify or knows something about it?????

Hi

Before of the creation of the ISN the medal that was awarded for this kind of acts was the Maria II medal for Philantrophy & Merit...

Here is na exemple of one of my colletion this of the gold degree...

A short curious story about this medal is the one about one of our queens Dª Maria Pia wife of king Louis I that received a same identical medal for a bravery act on saving the two royal princes from drowning on the Mexilhoeiro beach on October 1873...

Hi

There are 2 version of this medal awarded by the Instituto de Socorros a Naufragos:

The filantrophy & dedication acts medal

The corageous maritime acts medal (this is the one awarded for salvation acts on sea)

Hello Peron,

It seems that the suspension brace has been re welded.

Jean-Michel

I suspect that too

Hello Peron,

A very nice Alexander Leisek produced variety. The obverse/reverse strike is quite good and the makers marks are quite pronounced.

There should be the faint marking of 'Paul Dubois' on the obverse on the right of the feet of victory as viewed. It is a bit difficult to see in the pictures provided.

Regards,

Rob

You're rigth the signature is not very clear to see...

Here is my WW I portuguese Red Cross medal awarded to an ambulance personnel, with the Ambleteuse bar (portuguese military expeditionary corps hospital on the WWI France front)...

Hi Peron,

Your medal appears to have PAUL DUBOIS on the obverse so, if there is no LA or R anywhere, nor any markings on the edge, I'd say it is an Official Type 1 - especially as it comes from a supplier in Brussels.

Bill

My medal only has the Paul Dubois signature, I look everywere and cannot found any other markings...do anyone knows the supllier on the label box????

Hello Peron,

Your diploma is interesting because the grant date is of 19 August 1919 and the Decree of 14 July 1919.

Similarly, I do not know him what type of degree.

I think Belgium as France has a variety of forms of degree.

However, in France there is a regulatory model, the others are not regulatory.

By cons, is there a regulatory model delivering for Belgium?

What Says the decree?

Regard

Jean-Michel

Here is a close up of the text in the brevet...& what about my medal in post#72? the absence of any marks? Is there any variant without any markings?anyone????

And also a brevet of the Belgian Vic atribued to seargent Henry Juvent M 13 of the 3ème régiment de ligne signed of 10 August 1919.

Here is one of my other Belgian VM in original case, but one strange thing is that I can't find any makers mark??????Nothing!!!!!!!!!!How may I classify this one?

Thanks!!!!Lambert

Obrigado, daqui de Portugal os meus votos de um Bom Natal (aqui bem mais fresquinho!!!!) e um Bom ano de 2013!!!!!!
