1812 Overture

Two stars? what reason?

These are not my collection, I personally think it belongs to the silver level

Dear Sir, I need a comparison chart of various versions of the Spanish Military Order of Merit, can you send it to me? Thank you

what! I especially like the Alexandrian Order of the Kingdom of Bulgaria

I need a photo without a number, can you send it?

It is not recommended that you buy it, this is not officially released. And I find it ugly. In China, these are usually no one wants

I have to complain, I still can't see clearly. .

This medal is collecting dust on  my shelf.  Should I keep this medal as a souvenir of my father's time in Korea or try to sell it?  Anyone have any offers out there?

Regards,

Lou

I like it very much, but I do n’t have enough money to buy it. . Good luck, if you plan to sell, the price I gave is about $ 800, or auction

Thank you very much

Gentlemen, I bought this medal last year. . But currently I plan to sell it, but the buyer wants to know its information. Does any gentleman know the history of this medal and which infantry regiment it comes from? What does its ribbon look like? Looking forward to your reply!

Gentlemen, the Panamanian government commissioned a Chinese manufacturer to manufacture their order. I think I need to tell you (although I do n’t know its name) that we can buy it at a price of 1200 RMB. But I think this is fake. . And from the picture, it is very low.

I think the boss will send a killer to chase me down!

Hello,

this finely made medal is italian, "instituted" at the end of the 80s and "awarded" at least until 1998.

The man, whose bust is visible on the obverse, with the inscription "GIO. CARLO II", is Dr.Ing. Giancarlo Pizzi from Milan, whose ancestry goes back to the Counts of Porcia in the Friuli region of North-East Italy.

For unknown reasons, but surely with some sense of humour, he created this "Merit Medal", he used to award on the occasion of his birthday (or other occasions), to friends and other persons, whose fidelity and conspicuous merits towards him, deserved a visible sign of benevolence and gratitude.

The motto on the reverse, "AI NOSTRI FEDELI E MERITEVOLI SUDDITI", means "To our faithful and meritorious subjects".

The medal, struck in silver at the Johnson firm of Milan, was work of one of its own artists-medallists and it's really well executed; the ribbon, was provided by Messrs. Rothe & Neffe, Vienna.

It exists with two types of case: the early one, is of  typical "austrian" form, with rounded, forward side; the later one, is rectangular; all with various versions of the Austrian, or Lombardo-Venetian coat-of-arms, embossed in gold to the lid.

It came with an award document, in a dark blue cardboard folder; the earliest, printed on simili-parchment paper, the later ones, in a laser-copy version, all with the recipient's name made with "Letraset" transfer letters. The documents, bear the signature "Gio. Carlo", autographed in red ink.

It was not awarded in a great number, since one of the last documents known, from 1998, bears the number "N° 58".

I think that Dr. Pizzi passed away (if not, I apologize!), because some years ago a certain number of such medals appeared on the italian market, all within a short period of time.

Best wishes,

Enzo (E.L.)

Thank you, respectable Mr. Enzo. You have helped me again, and I am glad to see that you are fine and you can post in the forum. I wish you a safe escape from this disaster. Happy Easter!

Collectors, do you know what medal this is? What time period. . Judging from the pattern of the box, it feels after WW2, but the medal looks like the period of the Austrian Empire, please help! Thank you

Great portrait!

There must be a medal for this colony

Mr. Claudio's collection made me have to wear sunglasses to watch them, so as not to blind my eyes. .

The order on the neck was unclear. . . I speculate that the last of the medal bars is the Swedish sword order

I wonder if you awarded a medal or order in Germany or in any other country? I will release my set of bars in the Austro-Hungarian column. From the front, this is a set of ordinary bars, but the back is full of surprises! This is the first time I get a longer Austro-Hungarian badge bar

What an amazing topic! But I am more curious. Why did the Alexander Order he gained have double swords?And his medal bar was a lot wrong. .

It's been 11 years, and the poster came here for the last time in 2017. .
