Order of St. Peter and Paul of the Church of Antiochia
Dragomir replied to Dragomir's topic in Middle East & Arab States
This is a most interesting document. I have located so far the scant information about two orders of this particular prae-Chacedon church> Order of St. Ignatius the Theophoros, and Order of St. Ephraim the Syrian. The first, apparently, has three classes, while the other one has two! Or I might be wrong. But, there is a photo which puzzles me to no end. Perhaps someone has an idea what the diginfied Hierarch (Saint Ignatius Elias III)is wearing? Dragomir -
Order of St. Peter and Paul of the Church of Antiochia
Dragomir replied to Dragomir's topic in Middle East & Arab States
Owain, Thank you so much again. I was aware of this Medal, and exactly from the content of the link that you suggested. It is the only place (and only occasion) that this Medal is mentioned. Apparently the motive upon the rayed surface of the Medal is the Coat of Arms of the Patriarchate surrounded from the lower side with a semi-wreath. I suppose that it was awarded in single class. Yours, Dragomir -

Order of St. Peter and Paul of the Church of Antiochia
Dragomir replied to Dragomir's topic in Middle East & Arab States
Owain, Can you perhaps help with another inscription. This time it is Arabic text in the medallion ring of the Antiochian Order of St. John the Chrrysostome? All the best, Dragomir -
Order of St. Peter and Paul of the Church of Antiochia
Dragomir replied to Dragomir's topic in Middle East & Arab States
Owain, Thank you so much for the information. I was trying to read the inscription, but my Arabic is less than meager. There are several types of this star, but the unsolved problem for me is the period in which this type of insignia was awarded, because more standard type has obverse of the Badge of the Order superimposed upon the star. Best to you, Dragomir -

SS Heydrich's decorations
Dragomir replied to Hugh's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
As a matter of fact, Heydrich was Grand Cross of St. Sava, and it is not a neck badge. Following the German practice, once the war was declared by Germany to any country, the awards of that country were no more worn or displayed. Dragomir -

The inscription in the obverse (the white enameled book) is in Church-Slavonic and reads: I know of your endeavours, you have laboured for the sake of my Name. Dragomir -

BARBADOS: ORDER OF THE DOLPHIN?
Dragomir replied to Dragomir's topic in Rest of the World: Militaria & History
Thank you EJ. I believe that you are quite right in assuming that this was a trial product. However, it is beautiful and a mountain above the regular Barbadian honours. Yours, Dragomir -
Gentlemen, Can somebody make an educated guess what is this Indonesian potentate wearing (The collar and badge, of course)? Dragomir

Gentlemen, Does anybody know what is this? It was offered some time ago by an auctioneer. Thanks, Dragomir

Thank you Owain, I was also considering Jordan, exactly on the base of the crown-design, but I could not find anything that would corroborate the guess. I am trying to remember which website was in question, but so far I only remember that I found it by chance sometime in June this year. If I succeed in locating the source, I shall inform you. Best regards, Dragomir

Gentlemen, The Stange Company illustrates on its website the insignia strange to me, under the name of Order of the Dolphin of Barbados. Does somebody know what is it? Dragomir

Gentlemen, The Indian Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church disposes with a rather mysterious Order of St. Thomas. The information regarding the institution, organisation or any particular detail regarding that order is extremely scarce. Not just that, but the badge of this extremely bulky and unusual award is seen being worn on a blue (the Catholicos of the Armenian Church), respective red (Ethiopian Abbuna) necklet. Why? Does anyone have any information regarding this order? Dragomir

Could it be that a sports club awards orders for military and civil merit (look at the suspension!)? Dragomir
