Hi Peron,

A nice example of the Belgium Unofficial Type 3 - or France Unofficial Type 3! Laslo has it under both countries, but I believe it was made for the French market.

Are you going to replace the ribbon?

Bill

-Thanks...I think I am going to keep the original ribbon...

Here is another of my Victory medal (uniface) with original ribbon...

Hello. Just a preliminary search of the Medal Rolls shows the attached. Samuel E Bennett was entitled to the War and Victory medals and served with the Royal Welsh Regiment and the Territorial Reserve. Seems he survived the war too. Can't find any service records but I've not had chance to look properly yet.

Hope this is of interest.

Glenn.

Thanks !!!

Here is my English V.M.

Where could I find informations about the private to wom it was given???Is there any database on the net for consulting?

64233 PTE. S. E. BENNETT. WELSH. R.

It is triangle shaped yellow metal (copper brass?) stiched to the ribbon, I've never seen this kind of mouting also...

One of my latest aquisition...and with a unique(?) attachement to the medal ribbon...

Here is my "coronation" souvenir medal

Hi Peron

This is the mark of my specimen. is exactly like the triangle ( "Janvier-Berchot" )and the word BRONZE.

lambert

Correct...

I really need to buy a good digital camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!to do these kind of close ups!!!

Hello PERON,

The word "BRONZE" is written in large or small writing?

The medal is a "Janvier-Berchot"

Jean-Michel

Large writting BRON(?)E

Hi everyone...

Thanks

Peron

Hi Peron

Very good!!!! It seems to me a Belgian medal produced in France, have any mark on the edge?

Lambert

Hi Lambert

At plain eye and without a magnifying glass it seems to be a triangle and the word BRON(?)E...

Best regards

Peron

Here is mine Belgian VM

Hi Peron,

Your medal seems to have the characteristics of the Official type - apart from not having the Chobillon mark. Does it have the C Charles signature on the obverse? It certainly isn't the same as my locally-produced version. Are there any signs of it being cast?

Bill

Hi Bill

No it doesn't have de C.Charles signature...but as great detail on the engraving...if it is a copy/replica is a good one!!!

What are the cast signs that I may look for on this kind of medal?

Thx

P.

Hi everyone

Would like your coments on this Cuba VM:

Could this be an unoficial type? or an early replica replacement? made localy on Cuba...it reminds me the portuguese VM made by the Buttuller house on copper... It looks old with some age patina but has no makers marks visible...

Any clues???

Hi Peron

I possibly know anything about this soldier, just search records in South Africa.

I'll try to find something ..

Lambert

Great...thanks!!!!Obrigado pela sua ajuda...gostaria de saber efectivamente quem seria este soldado...

Um abraço

P.

Hi Peron

Great!! To whom she is named?

Parabéns! ótimo exemplar, para quem esta nomeada ?

Lambert

Hello Peron.

Read somewhere that, by Decree n-6: 756, July 10, 1920, those who were imprisoned by the enemy but received no summons or an award used the star in the Ribbon. You know something different about the use of the star.

Lambert

I do not know much about it...only that teory that I mencioned before...but it makes sense...if you see the above set of medals that I have posted of an Alferes de Infantaria that was on the CEP in France at that time...it has that VM with star, and there is also a medal of distintc services with the letter C buckle...I discover in a magasin of the Time "Ilustração Portugueza" there is a litlle article about my alferes telling that He was responsable of repeling an attack of the enemy in battle...I believe that was the reason for the atribute of that other medal DS buckle letter C....
