Hi Archie Do you know to whom it was issued?

Thanks Marco I got one with a BSAC medal, very unusual combination.

Hi Archie Weren't there a pre '65 issue with Dutch, like the police 1st type 18y service medal?

Hi all As far as I now this is collector sets, not originals. Chris

HI I saw a bronze one in a very impressive NIS group. I will try to get a photo of it. I think they were issued in a small time window after 1994. Yes, the silver one is named. Chris Found it, courtesy of Angloboerwar.com

Hi Archie Beautiful medals...I am green. Thanks for showing. Chris

Hi Archie Very impressive collection Chris

Hi Archie How many of the 1st Edition were made? Chris

Hi Marcon I think you realized now, what he means by saying a small part of his collection....

On this one: https://www.medals.org.uk/south-africa/south-africa171.htm

Archie Seeing your collection on here, I am surprised you don't have everything out there...Lol

Hi Archie You need to explain to Megan the Order of Ingwe. I see that on her site, she got the wrong picture in the 3rd Class Chris

Thanks Archie, when I am in that side of SA, then for sure....

Wow Archie.....that's all I can say. What is the orange challenge coin in your collection? Chris

Thanks again Enzo for the information. Google translate: The 2nd campaign battalion. During the fierce combat against the preponderant enemy forces, they crossed terrain intensely hit by enemy fire several times to maintain the connection between the various departments, eliminating with the throwing of hand grenades a group of enemies who attempted to block their path, fulfilling the own task with enthusiasm and contempt for danger.

Enzo Thank you very much. Now to decipher it. Chris

Hi Got no idea if it is original and the battle where he earned it. Any idea of a citation? I am so out of my depth here, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris

Hi Top one is civil medal for service Middle one is for Headmen Last one is for Chiefs I dont know for what or why they were given out , but that is their descriptions.

Hi Contact Dewald at dewald@nelantiques.co.za for Boerwar forms A,B and C.

Hi There were a few WW1 unnamed medals stolen from the stores in SA, a few years ago. They do come now and then on the market, here in SA. 1914 -1915 Stars , BWMs and BVic medals. Chris

Never seen it before. Looks like late (small) naming with their service number from WW2. Can't think that there was naming done in 1994. New ones wouldn't have such big service numbers on, Not a lot of persons in the Black Powder club, well not in their ten of thousands anyway. So the question is, did they took original ASMs and modified them? Or did they created a new die, that looks like the ASM, to stamp new 'medals'? Very weird.... Chris

Thanks Marcon1, for the info.

Hi, this is my first post with photos, so let see.... I got this orders of Thohoyandou, from Venda pre 1994 I can't find any info on them and no pictures on the net. so I presume they are scarce.

Hi all I think there was also a Maj Gen du Toit, that served in the liaison office in Japan during the Korean war. Seeing that Gen Moll was mentioned. Chris
