Good afternoon, Would Anyone by chance have a photo (possibly with his medal bar) of the Engineering general Đorđe S. Jorgović from the Kingdom of Serbia, later Kingdom of SHS and Kingdom of Yugoslavia? Thanks so much to everyone in advance kindest regards, Stefan

Good evening everyone, I am looking for some information on the French medal of foreign affairs (Médaille d'honneur des affaires étrangères). My question would be, is it searchable? I have a medal awarded to a Yugoslav major (at the time of the award) during President Rene Coty. I have been looking through the 1954.-1959. Bulletin officiel des décorations, médailles et récompenses but i do not see any awards of this medal or awards of the French foreign ministry in the bulletins? Was this medal published somewhere else? Is it searchable at all? Any help would be much appreciated. Kindest regards, Stefan

Thank you so much for the reply, my concern was that unlike the one shown by you, or the golden version, it does not have the star-shape imprint on the back and I found the silvering around the screw post also different and not seen in Mondvor versions shown on the forum. So, you consider it a regular Mondvor first class in silver? it it really means a lot to get confirmation from you, I have not had a chance to see other silver Mondvor stars other than the ones shown here.

Hello everyone, can someone more knowledgeable help me out. I've reacently purchases this partisan star 1st class thinking it to be the illusive soviet silver version shown here. However mines seems to be different, any ideas? thanks so much in Advance to everyone!

Thank you so much for all the help!

Thank you so much for the reply! I had no idea that Sout American countries make these helmets out of "vulkanfiber". Having seen your post i did remember that i knew that licences were issued by Germany, but it hadn't crossed my mind. Did some quick google search, found this: https://m.ebay.ie/itm/German-m35-40-Vulcanised-fiber-Vulkanfiber-Parade-helmet-complete-RARE-/201916165530?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1 It appears to be the same type of helmet as the one o have, mine has 05 on the rim, i dont much trust ebay descriptions, but is it true, were these also made in Germany for parade use? Thanks so much, Stefan

Good evening, today i had the pleasure of buying an item which was incredibly strange to me, any idea what in God's name it is, it appears to be a Stahlhelm made out of cooked leather or some sort of wooden material i do not collect Reich militaria but this was so interesting to me i could not pass it up..... photos attached, any info would be lovely, weather its a display piece, fake or anything else.... It has a steel rim and the inner part appears quite old and original but the material of the helmet itself looks to be cooked leather or some sort of wood. There seems to also be a name of the manufacturer but it is badly faded, Thanks so much in advance, best regards, Stefan

Hi, would anyone be willing to be so kind and show some quality copies to avoid of the "good" Lenin? Thanks in advance!

Hello, for years now i have had trouble registering on the forum soviet-awards, now, i am being offered two rare soviet awards, is there anyone who can help me with fakes, i have a lot of literature but i wanted to use that forum's library of fakes just to re-assure myself before buying as it is usually out of my realm, so if anyone who has access to that forum and is willing to help could contact me i would be very grateful, Thanks in advance, Best regards, Stefan

Thanks a lot Cyril, ill see if i can get some more info, but thank you so much for all your help!

this is why i posted it here, i would really be surprised to hear it is a fake, as no other has surfaced, if it is mappin and webb, maybe a first type? and i wouldn't think Italians would be making it due to the occupation... maybe a replaced suspension? although i have not seen a suspension like this, i have little literature on Ethiopian medals, any book you would recommend Cyril? best regards, Stefan

i was curious bcause i know Bertnand made them as well, i've seen both Bertnand and Mappin pieces but never with this suspension, also i have not seen a fake before so i do not think it is a fake, but for instance i will attach a picture of a mappin and webb piece, it looks different...

Thanks a lot for the reply Sampo , i've never seen one with that before but somehow i was thinking the same

Hi, i've been watching a star of Ethiopia on ebay these past couple of days, i've never seen one with a loop like that, anyone know the manufacturer?

Seeheld, ive looked into it, i think you may be right, it looks identical on the post you commented on a few years ago, thank you so much for the help!
