It´s the 5th clas of WE after 1909. There normaly are a number on the backside of the crown that say the year its made.

Hi Dave I agree with you that this needs much more research. In 32 years there should be a lot of orders given out to both Thai and to foreigners. Do you have a digital copy of that english translated book? You are correct that it sounds crazy that they should have printed certificates that lasted for over 30 years. Thats just stupid. So why it shows the old award are also a puzzel to solve. I have tried to send emails to the Thai secretariat but they never answer.

I have a friend at the chancellery and he said that they havent taken back any orders for many many years. They try to get back the order of North Star and the order of the seraphime because they are still given out. Some countries send a person to colllect the order after a person died but Sweden dont do that.

I looked in the Swedish "statskalendern" from 1880. Statskalendern are were important people in Sweden was listed with there ODM´s. I found 4 persons who hade recived this order. Carl Herman Oscar Ennes, Ärekors af Hohenz. Hus 0. 3:e kl. Frih. Gustaf Johan Wilhelm Ehrenborgh, Ärekors af Hohenz. Hus O. 2:a kl. Sven Hjalmar Thestrup, Ärekors af Hohenz. Hus-O. 3:e kl. Olde, Emanuel Mathias, Ärekors Hohenz. Hus. 0. 3:e kl. So these person would have gotten the order before 1880.

The marks on the order. Makers mark CFC= Carl Fredirik Carlman. yearstamp K9 = 1960. The 3 crowns means its from Sweden. The mark between CFC and the crowns are the towns mark. Its made in Stockholm. CFC was the sole maker of Swedish royal orders between 1875-1998.

Its the Swedish order of the Sword not Crown. It looks very nice i think.

THe model are called "Båtmössa" Boatcap. The model yeare are 1948, m/48. Same cap are used by the Swedish navy as well. You can not see that it is for a officer in the reserv. reserv or "normal" offciers are using the same cap.

I have never ever seen a set up like that. That you wear the star as a separate miniature. Interesting....

Very nice group!! You know who the group belong to? (Vem mottagaren är) Little strange that it have the same order in diffrent classes. That is not the way "we" do it in Sweden. The order of the White Elephant and the order or the Crown changed its appearances in 1909. The attached document prove that. unfortunately its in Thai. The far left medal seams to be the Rajamangala Bhisek Medal, Commemorative Medal on the Occasion of the Longest Reign Celebrations of the Accession to the Throne of H.M King Chulalongkorn. The second from left seams to be the Rajini Medal, Commemorative Medal of H.M Queen Saovabha Phongsri´s Investiture as Queen Regnant. order of the crown 1909.pdf order of the white elephant 1909.pdf

Type 4 or it´s for a lady? Its a second type after 1909.

Yes "For Fred og Frihet" translates to For Peace and Freedom.

I think there are versions of the medal. I seen diffrent backsides as well. This medal have diffren backside then the one you showed.

It is the National Service medal for the Air force of Norway. Here are all the service medals from Norway, Army. Navy. Air Force. National guard,
