    1. Hello Rob, The 27mm model is rare with the inscription on the reverse "THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILIZATION 1914-1918", I saw it a few times at auction in Paris. It's one of my regrets not to have bought one of these models, but at the time, my collection was not only focused on the victory medal. I do not despair of finding a copy. For your medal, it is an unusual medal by its size and its gilded metal, but it lacks the inscription on the reverse to make it a true unofficial model. https://www.medaillesinteralliees.fr/france-2 Regards, Jean-Michel
    2. Hello Rob, Your 27mm model in gilded bronze on the flankless reverse, is not an Allied medal. However, Alexlander J. LASLO considered it unofficial type 1a. Alexander Laslo mentions that the stock of this medal has been used for other medals, except that it is the reverse. The house "Delande" made this medal with the blank reverse for various associations. In 1921, France still not having an official model, the military wore either a Belgian uniface model or a Charles model, the "Delande" house therefore took the opportunity to publish a model from its generic model. This model was marketed in the catalog of the house "Delande" in June 1921. If one follows logic, there are only two medals which were produced exclusively as an Allied medal, the official model "Morlon" and the unofficial "Charles" model. This is why on my site, I do not classify the "Pautot-Mattéi" and "Charles" medals as official models but as curiosities. However, your medal remains interesting, because according to the ribbon, I think if Alexander J. Laslo was still in the world he would have published a new book, because at the time he wrote his last book he did not have the internet resources that we have today. I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the quality of the models you own. Best regards, Jean-Michel
    3. Not easy to find this model in France except by ebay. It is a good official model.
    4. Hello, Good ribbon, good marking, it's a very good purchase. Best regards, Jean Michel
    5. Hello Olivier, You present four varieties of the official medal. This model has a dozen variations in terms of signature, suspension mode, reproductions and others. Regards, Jean Michel
    6. Bonjour, Pour moi, c'est un montage fantaisiste pour gagner de l'argent. Il existe de nombreuses fausses assemblées de médailles interalliées. La victoire ailée n'est pas celle de la Belgique. Cordialement, Jean-Michel
    7. Hi Bill, You uses a digital vernier caliper to measure? Regards Jean-Michel
    8. Hello, I think I have the right translation: Army, infantry, number 184729, 1st class JINSAKU HIROSE, decorated with Order of Merit 8th class. Sacred treasure or the rising sun. Thank you all. Best Regards Jean-Michel
    9. Hello, Thank you for your translation, you are right number is 184729. The soldier would have belonged to the infantry. For me this is the highest number that I saw and the first for a soldier not belonging to the navy. I hope that I am going to arrive the rank and name of the person. The numbers of documents are they greater than 184729. Best regards Jean-Michel
    10. Hello, I recently Bought A win pour medal Degree in Japan. My problem is what I do can not identify the rank, name and surname of the person who has received this degree. I Think The Number assignment is 126065. Can you help me? Thank you in advance Best Regards Jean-Michel
    11. Hi Jim, For me, what I noticed first, those are the three mistakes I have outlined in red. Regard Jean-Michel
    12. Hello Jim, Here are two links to pictures of bad qualities, but we can see that it's the same medal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEDALS-WW1-CUBA-VICTORY-MEDAL-1914-18-FULL-SIZE-/161422041360?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item259580e110 http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW1-ARMY-NAVY-AIR-CORPS-MILITARY-CUBA-VICTORY-MEDAL-WORLD-WAR-ONE-/291238812258?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item43cf2f9a62 Why do you want me to tell you if your medals are official models? I do not understand your gait! Regard Jean-Michel
    13. Hello Muckaroon, The medal you have presented is not an official model nor an unofficial model is that a copy that can easily be found on Ebay. The obverse of the medal is very well copied, the other side has several shortcomings. The patina of this medal is fairly well imitated. Regard Jean-Michel
    14. hello, I think the photos were taken with a flash. I think there is no marking on the suspension ring. The ribbon is good. In conclusion, for me this medal is a copy. Best Regards Jean-Michel

    16. Hello Bill, It is very original, but certainly not easy to wear. Regards Jean-Michel
    17. Hello Peron, For me, I would say that it is an official type 2. By against the ribbon may be of Italian origin, but to confirm. Regards Jean-Michel
    18. Hello Bill, The picture is not very good because of the flash. If you want tomorrow I will make a better Photo quality. Regards Jean-Michel
