Herr General

Take a look at this forum for more dutch medals: www.onderscheidingenforum.nl

another one !

Great! Is thisone in your collection? Do you have a name of the wearer?

Beautifull set. The Wharang/Hwarang is the 4th military decoration of the ROK.It is a decoration for merit (not bravery). Above the Wharang there are the bravery awards; Chung Mu, Ulchi and Taeguk. (The Chung Mu can been seen in the set posted by me)

There is also a Modern version of the Chung Mu in my set, the neck cross.

Very Nice, I love to see more!

Does anyone know the names of the unknown batons (ribbons) on these sets (red underlinded)

Could we see the whole bar! Looks interesting!

I would love to see the painting in spainisch uniform!

The Bronze Star is named and the Chugmu numbered! This belonged to a Dutch/British RAF Pilot during WWII and later volunteer of Korea as an Officer. With documents and photo's.

No problem,

Here's something from my collection:

My pride, group with American and Korean bravery award for Korea

Very nice bars! Where did you post the Dutch bars?

Maybe nice to know! The first and second group of Dutch soldiers in the Korean war received the Greek version accidentally. So they wear the "KOPEA" bar.

This person lives in the Netherlands. Claiming to be a Mongolian Prince, ex US special forces and Dutch army. Professor in China, Martial arts specialist, etc etc

See google for more info. How likely are his medals?

Thank you very much for this info..

This confirms that this doc. was awarded to the same man, KOSTA JELICIC, as this (190335250524)document for a Dutch order of oranje-nassau.

I would haved loved to keep these together especially since I am dutch....

Silly silly silly...

Ulsterman, how many more docs were in this group? I can't seem to find the listings anymore.

Item numbers for ref. ethiopian doc.170383218624 Dutch doc.190335250524

If you are Dutch, joing this forum; www.onderscheidingenforum.nl I think the buyer corvettesander is known there...

maybe he was on holiday , i wonder if it was the same case of the British officer who was awarded the Dutch war cross with the Atjeh bar because he ''volunteered'' his services to the Dutch while he was there on a hunting trip

Any info on that officer?

If you ever want to sell the Oberst aD Georg Schmidt bar! I'm buying! As a collector to Dutch bars!

What a great citation!

The font on the top bar makes me almost think of an Irish medal!

Ghaz? Mir Masyedi Khan Medal is also awarded to people still alive!

YES

As far as I know, there was no Chancery of Orders during the communist years, but all decorations were awarded through decrees which had to be published in Buletinul Oficial, so in theory that could be a starting point for looking for names. You could also try to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see whether they kept records of awards to foreigners (but they are very slow to answer).

Thanks for your reply. Do you know someone with access to the Buletinul Oficial?

What exactly is that breast star?

Order of Isabella the Catholic from Spain,

According to his The New York Times obiturary published on April 3, 1872, Morse received respectively the decoration of the Atiq Nishan-i-Iftikhar (English: Order of Glory) [first medal on wearer's right depicted in photo of Morse with medals], set in diamonds, from the Sultan Ahmad I ibn Mustafa of Turkey, a golden snuff box containing the Prussian gold medal for scientific merit from the King of Prussia (1851); the Great Gold Medal of Arts and Sciences from the King of W?rttemberg (1852); and the Great Golden Medal of Science and Arts from Emperor of Austria (1855); a cross of Chevalier in the L?gion d'honneur from the Emperor of France; the Cross of a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog from the King of Denmark (1856); the Cross of Knight Commander of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, from the Queen of Spain, besides being elected member of innumerable scientific and art societies in this [united States] and other countries.

Is there any information to be found in Romanian archives about decorations to Dutchmen?

Here it is.

It was awarded in 5 classes to those "who through their participation to the revolutionary fight have brought a considerable contribution to the achievement of democratic liberties and the establishment of socialism".

the Order is also used during state visits. I have a second classe awarded to a Dutch Army driver during a state visit in the 70's.

I have also a Ribbonbar of a General that was awarded a commanders grade during the same state visit!
