The case is from balsa wood.All Japanese award are situated to the cases -etuis from balsa wood.Also the first Czechoslovak order-Štefaniks Order,or Order of Falcon was in put into wooden etue -Tokio version 1918. Imagine the situation -you award somebody with the Chain of White Lion and you are given such an order or similar.A lot of similar situations are familiar with me.

here it is at last

Hi,dear collegues,I am going to sell lots of buttons and an Order of Merit Austria.I would like somebody to tell me the approximate price for buttons,concerning Order,I will find the info at Emedals.Thanks,for your answers,Nick-Mikuláš to be continued to be continued later

This order was established in 6.6.1947.It was made from bronze,no suspension for wearing on the reverse of the ribbon.A nice wooden case-dimension 19cmx11,5cm.Weight 17 gr..dia-33,3 cm.About 150 ordes of the first type were awarded.In my opinion it is the ugliest award in the world.It is my opinion.I do not know why designs and quality of awards of North Vietnam is so low.I hope when Ed Emering visits the GMIC after reading the topic he will give some explanation.They are not from presious metal:gold,silver,...and their design is so simple.The photos of order are from my collection.

I think the order deserves to have the topic with some more iformation and photos. The order was established 3.2.1953 as the highest award for exeptional work for the country.Its first name was Order of building of the socialist motherland.8.2.1955 it was chcanged into Order of Klement Gottwald-for building of the socialist motherland.It was always made in gold.The title of gold and weihgt changed.I took some information from site vyznamenani.net to show varieties of order in title of gold and weight. 1.number 17 1955-60 title 986,weight 77,5gr. 2.number 62 1960-89 t.585 w.69,6 3.number 86 1960-89 585 72,8 4. 92 585 62,9 5. 105 585 65,9 6. 165 585 73,8 it is mine It is popular among the collectors of Czechoslowak awards,for good investment of money.I will add the photos of the order from my collection.,numerred 165. Next photos -the dimension of etue 18cm X13,5cm and the tilte of briliant.

The topic is without a photo of the Liakat Medal-Medal for Merit.I dare to attach the photo of my medal.A Slovak Military Priest-feldkurat from Pruské was awarded .It is siver.The weight is 11 gr.

I would to add the photos of the back sides-reverses of the Order.Dimension of the etui 35x46cm.Only 31 persons awarded.

This the photo of all types of crosses. 1.London issue 1939 2.Prague issue 1947-48 in memoriam dark bronze 3.Prague issue 1945-46 4.Prague issue 1947-48 in memoriam light bronze

Good morning,will be able somebody to show the medal of the XX anniversary of MPA?I have got only the certificate.I nave never seen the medal,and I am full of interest to see it.Many thanks for showing.Nick-Mikuláš

A widespread medal ,made in USSR .Silver.Awarded to a Czechoslovak nurse during the Korean War 1953.With a certificate.I think,it is worth to see.

Hi,collegues. I went throuhg all the division I did not find the award I have mentioned in the title.Probably,that is why,it is not an official award.I have one question.How many crosses were awarded?This is a photo of mine.Thanks for your replays,Nick-Mikuláš

Your War Cross 1939 is from period 1947-48.Usually it was given to the family-In memoriam.

I do not know how many of them very issued,but more than 800 persons were awarded with the Star of the Order of the 25th February.Despite of big number of awards most of collectors have in collections unawarded pieces.Me,too.I have the certificate only to the 3rd grade.I hope you will not be angry,when I will attach the photo of the set of the Order.Is it a n interesting information for you?

I am glad you liked it.Number 593. http://www.ebay.com/itm/322449669824?ul_noapp=true Last week I also sold one Romanian order,now I am going sell it.

Hi,collegues.Order is not rare at all,but it is interesting because of the certificate.Order was awarded to Josef Deyl a Czechoslovak Minister of Agriculture.

An interesting example of the award to a Czecoslovak manager of Factory transporting steel pipes. He was awarded with the 5th grade. 3rd grade is only for illustration.Probably somebody will be able to translate the contents of the certificate.

Hi,I would like to add the photos of Miniature from brass,not from white metal.
