Nice collection!

what are the year marks on the stars?

You need a sword order and an order of the seraphim to complete the set of swedish stars. 

I did not find the year on the stars. . I can’t afford an angel with six wings, although I like it very much, the sword officer should be able to afford it。Actually I also want the Oscar II enthronement memorial you want, the light blue one

First of all, I want to thank this Finnish friend for helping me many times and answering many strange questions. I used to like to collect medals and orders from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now I gradually tend to collect the breast star orders of the Grand Officer and Grand Cross before 1910.

Please accept my compliment to you

Please look at the Order of Olaf from my Grand Cross of the Kingdom of Norway. It is assumed that the age was created between 1925 and 1930. I know it has many versions. In fact, I am looking forward to a lion on the badge of the Grand Cross. . .

The governor of the Qing Dynasty "Duanfang" was beheaded in the 1911 Revolution. .

Diamond cut, really beautiful

The order of the three breast stars, I call "Austeritz" (War of the Three Emperors)

Can photos of Austro-Hungarian military attachés be sent here?

Is the Venus Order of the Republic of Vietnam

thank you for your help

Mr. Komtur’s collection always amazes me! envy

Clearly I am mistaken, then, about the correct ribbon - as illustrated on the award document.  I was popping back and forth between several on-line sites and trying to sort out the earlier award from the later version and 'merit' from 'Civl Merit'

However, it still looks to me as if the owner or his tailor used a substitute, a common enough practice with rare foreign awards, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure how one would go about tracking down the owner, other than trolling the London Gazette or whatever the Chilean equivalent would be, if such exists, and I'm not familiar enough with the Gazette to guess whether or not such an award would appear there.  Frustrating!

Dear Sir, can you tell me in which year the Chilean order at the commander level was established?

Thank you for your answer。

I have seen this group of medal bars for sale on the website of Mr. Sasha in Baden, which is more expensive. . But I did not find the link, it may have been sold

Dear collector, I would like to ask about the picture of Jesus in the Greek Redemption Order. Can anyone tell me when the picture below falsified Jesus with his index finger? What does it mean? Is there a timeline of pictures of Jesus in the middle of each period? Ask for help! Thank you

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't look at the title carefully. . I sent the wrong picture. Please forgive me

I forgot that I published an article here, thank you for your reply. If you need to buy, I can find a way

The first one looks to be Bertrand or associated firms, work.  The reverse pin may have a Bertrand mark and a silver fineness mark.  Some star pins or bodies are marked 'Bronze'; such are of course silvered bronze.  If it is silver and the enamel cross is very well contoured to the star body [so that the enamel appears to 'bend'] maybe 1910-40's.  If cross not well contoured [with flatter or flat enamel], '30's-'60's. 

The second type star usually appears with a silver body and silver or more often bronze gilt badge not well configured to the star body.  Some of these have Da Costa of Lisbon maker plate at the reverse centers.  To my knowledge, definite dates have not been determined for Da Costa pieces though  they have been attributed to the 1940's-'50's.

Discussion over the shade of blue enamel as an indicator of period used to occupy Black Star of Benin enthusiasts with the darker shade being generally accepted as being older. 

A better indication of period is the badge suspension wreath with more detailed and better enameled ones being obviously older.  And even with badge present unless workmanship and exact enamel shades closely match appears no definite way to know if they are an original set.  Here we have no badge image to assist anyway.

Thank you Mr. "922F" for your detailed answer, I know that you will definitely be able to help me in this section! Thank you for answering my strange questions again and again and encouraging me. I want to know which order and medal you are studying? French colonial?

Dear gentlemen, I have come to you for help again. Mainly because I only collected orders for breast stars before 1910. Now I am optimistic about a black star order, but I am not sure about its age. Can anyone tell me about 19XX-19XX? Issued between?

This kind of black star breast star, about the release date?

This black star looks early, with the surrounding radiation angle cut through. .

I hope someone can help me, thanks

Bokassa might beat Tokudaiji in numbers, but most of Bokassa's grandcross stars were of his own creation, whereas marquis Tokudaiji was recepient of many prestigious European orders such as the White Eagle of Russia, the Red Eagle of Prussia, Iron Crown of Austria, St. Maurice & St. Lazarus of Italy, Legion 'D Honneur of France,Royal Victorian Order of the United Kingdom, as well as some high orders from Asia such as the First Grade of the Double Dragon of China, The White Elephant of Siam, the order of the Plum Blossems of Korea and of course the order of the Chrysanthemum of Japan.

Dear Sir, can you show me the picture of "Tokudaiji"?

I don’t think it’s special

Thank you, dear sir

Dear collectors, I have always wanted to know the order and medals won by the last Governor of Qingdao. Can anyone tell me, in addition, it is best to have other photos of him. Thank you

Thank you. It turned out that he was the owner of the farm. I can't open Wikipedia.

Dear gentlemen, when I recently browsed the photos, I found that there was a gentleman beside Khrushchev who was smiling happily, and I wanted to know what his name was or his profile. I found that Khrushchev had him in most corn photos. . .

Thank you

It's really "shiny"

I also think this is the Lut Pod Jubilee Medal in Bavaria. Watching the front portrait of the character, it looks to the left and the officer has also served in Bavaria for 25 years. He has no reason not to win the Jubilee Medal.
I think the fourth trophy is Lufthansa Bremen.
PS, why doesn't your brother come to the forum?

若衫市=A place name in a city in Japan

Long Zeding roughly means a street name

相马郡福田村=Place name

I guess it means it was mailed from this place

明治三十七八年=1904-1905年

This certificate was issued to Japanese soldiers who participated in the Russo-Japanese War. Nick has told you something else

This medal was set up on March 31, 1906. Its price in China is about twenty dollars. It comes in a wooden box and is particularly cheap

Mr. Chris is already collecting British battle medals? And I am still worried about having no money to order German medals. .
