Shots Dave

Just realised my version is gilded.

The first one I believe is Association nationale des Resistants combattants and is one of 3 versions of medals/crosses. Below are the other 2 versions I am aware of. These are the ribbons I have attached but I do not know they are all correct.

Have a look at this, it might help https://asiamedals.info/threads/guide-for-dating-of-nichan-iftikhar-order-by-bey-monograms.11635/

Possibly a long service and good conduct(military) medal ribbon?

Duncan Please find below the medals and service card detailing the award of the aforementioned. Dave

Good afternoon Gentlemen Can anyone date this medal for me and provide any information on the Federation des Anciens Militaires Luxembourg please? Cheers Dave

I have just seen this award document on ebay showing it was awarded by the FFIC- which appears to be La Federation Francais et Interalliee des Combattants

Dewald Nel is in South Africa and for a small fee will copy his service records for you. dewald@nelantiques.co.za Best wishes Dave

Here is mine, the letters are BRFLO which I believe is for florentine bronze and the cornucopia

Hi Gents I am not familiar with badges, so would appreciate any information on the pictured badges, especially the central one. Cheers Dave

Here is an example showing the award document. The Protea appears to have been the buttonhole type where the rear has been removed and it has been drilled once to attach it to the top of the frame.

Here is an example

I have shown the four classes of the 1940-1944 award I have : 1-Knight 2-Officer 3-Commander 4-Grand Cross The reverse of the Grand Cross is plain whilst the other 3 have identical reverses to that of the obverse cross element. The commander version is slightly different to those usually seen in that it appears to have been coloured by the recipient(?) and instead of the usual tie style of ribbon it has been stitched together using a piece of the first style ribbon, as on the Knight version.

Welcome Elizabeth, hopefully this will help http://www.france-phaleristique.com/medaille_blesses_guerre.htm

I finally managed to track down this lovely example of an English made version. There are lots of things to notice: The way the ribbon is folded, the safety pin for a brooch, the crown (eg centre pips), the lion and most noticeable the one piece construction of the cross, no discs that can become detached.
