Hi Igor, a very nice medal.

Hello ThaiDave. Thank you for your help. Werner

Hello. I have just found this set of insignia. Can anyone help me identifying these please? Thank you, Werner

Igor, this is the citation.

Zuen or Zuun might be an hamlet of St-Pieters-Leeuw. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuun Werner

I have no idea what they stand for but none are official medals. That is for sure. First two have ribbon for the 1870-1871 medal which is an official medal. Werner

Hello Megan. This is a Belgian non official medal " La Croix Verte Colonial". I have to find my documentation but as soon as I've found it I will come back with more information. They excist als without rosette " Chevalier" or Knight With rosette Officier or Officer.

Hello Antonio. Thank you for your response. Much appreciated. Werner

Hello, I have a document wich authorizes wearing a foreign order. In this case "Commandeur de l'Ordre d'Isabelle la Catholique" . Is there a list for Belgians awarded with this order? Which type of order would match this document? Thank you in advance.

Hello Christiaan, nice collection Order of the Crown. Those boxes with "text" as you probably allready know meaning: - POC / GPK = Palmes d'Or Couronne / Gouden Palmen Kroonorde - MOC / GMK = Médaille d'or Couronne / Gouden Medaille Kroonorde Box with M 1e is probably for the Civilian medal 1st class but also could be for an other medal, Burgerlijke Medaille 1914-1918. (Civilian Medal 14-18) Werner

Hi Veltro. This case is for the "Silver Palmes Order of the Crown" or in dutch "Zilveren Palmen in de Kroonorde" Z for Zilver : Silver P for Palm : Palm greetings, Werner

Hello Veltro and speedytop, the medal on the right is : Medal for liberal union membership. The other one on the left is probably a medal for a veterans association, a non official award. Greetings, Werner Some examples: Medal for Liberal Union Membership.

Hello Igor. I do not have this one. Its is a medal officialy instituted as a price medal for art. The only information I have for the moment is a discription from a catalogue bij Guioth.

Thank you Farmer. Now I know what to look for. Regards, Werner

Hello Lukasz. Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to post a picture of the correct type of Officer (4th class) I should buy to complete this document. Regards, Werner

Thank you JohanH Werner

Hello, I would like to know if there exists a list of Belgians who received this Order, I have a medal with document awarded to a Belgian, I believe he was a servant at the Royal House in Belgium.

Hallo there, could someone help me with following document. I would like to know what type of medal goes with this document. Is there a list of the Belgians who were awarded this order? regards Werner

Hello Jan, this would be most welcome. Thank you. Werner

As you can see Hendrik, his name was correctly spelled. Indeed I know and have that publication by Peter Verstraeten. I am aware that its almost impossible but you know that sometimes Belgian groupings comes with a foreign medal or order. Maybe I will refraise my question later for a specific medal 😀 Regards, Werner

If by any chanche someone would have information about Foreign Orders and Medals awarded to Belgians, I would be very interested. Werner 🙂

Hello bilylev. As you can see and read, this one should be in gilded silver and the crown in silver (second class). His name was engraved in the wrong way, it should be Fenchère instead of Feuchère. Cheers, Werner Hello Hendrik, for this one I have to consult an other publication because it is a 1847 medal. As you have noticed, the head of Leopold I is smaller. Meaning that originally it was just a medal without crown. Perhaps you can check if this medal was mounted into a circle. Difficult to explaine in English for me. Otherwise send me a PM to explain this in Dutch. Werner Found him. I forgot to mention that the ribbon is not original. It is a modern replacement. Greetings, Werner

Regards, Werner

Hello VC89. There's a study about these medals where you can find those names. You can also find them in "Moniteur Belge" - "Belgisch Staatsblad". Your medal should be a second class, the medal is gilded silver and the crown silver. Perhaps you can do some cleaning. He also received a silver medal (third class) for an other act of bravery in 1849. Greetings
