Portuguese Victory Medals
macchianera72 replied to Tim B's topic in Inter-Allied Victory Medals of the Great War
Dear johnnymac, In my opinion, the photo of medal by site "Order of decorations of medals 1914-1918" (on the right) is in very low resolution and of poor quality...(medal appear to be stretched) probably this fact makes we to mistake: i have this medal... for me is like unofficial tipe-3 of your book (pag.254 2nd ed.) Probably a Butuller's new type. What do you think? Thank's for your Book (i love it) and sorry for my bad English. Macchianera72 -
Slightly Odd Belgian WW1 Victory Medal
macchianera72 replied to Bilco's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Dear Bill, I have about 40 victory medals of Belgium (official type). I tried to classify them by types, considering: weight, diameter, thickness, suspension ball, etc ... Your example is very interesting for me and not common I have only one medal similar to yours (for suspension device) but mine is not reddish. However, I think your medal is original, and mine probably is a copy. weight = 20,1 gr. diameter = 36,02 mm thickness = 2,0 mm ball / thick wire = 4,4 mm (large) -

Italian Victory Medals
macchianera72 replied to Kev in Deva's topic in Inter-Allied Victory Medals of the Great War
Hello Gentlemen, The Italian Victory medal unofficial type 3 is very rare... I know only two collectors in Italy who have it, one of this medal is in bronze, the other in white metal, These medals have the "staffa" as a suspension device... The medal in my photo is the one mentioned by Laslo on page 57 (note 18) "The unofficial type 3 obverse design also apears on a Belgian medal of the period. ..." The reverse is blank The suspension device is a ball The ribbon is the same described by Laslo (note 18) and it is the only medal I've seen of this type. -

Hello Gentlemen, Lorioli Type (short signature) with different suspension device: "angular staffa" The "staffa" does not seem to have traces of welding Anyone knows other Italian Victory Medals with this suspension device? Thank's Macchianera72
