    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.

    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,

    3. 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,

    4. 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

    5. 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

    7. Hello,

      Hello Bill,

      I have seen other Belgian vics that have off-centre obverse-reverse dies so that can be explained.

      I have also seen vics either silvered or with a gilt finish so that in itself is not unknown.

      A nice example nonetheless.

      Regards,
      Rob

      Here is a model with a bail shifted.
      I take this opportunity to introduce you to a reduction in silver.
      Regards
