How many of these are known to survive ? And to which recipients ( of all the involved nationalities ) ?

Has this ever been comprehensively researched and written up ? A collector in Europe has advised me that it is extremely rare

Strikings apparently vary as each participant regiment had its name inserted in a different striking. I have one for the Sher Regt. Does anyone know how many different regimental issues there were ? Also how many approximately to a regiment and what the total number issued of this medal might have been ? The medal was reportedly struck at three different mints in Nepal

Are there ( and can anyone on this forum provide ) any published statistics for NUMBERS ISSUED for the various types and metals of this medal ? Also : can anyone assist with obtaining the CITATION for an award in Silver , Leopold I issue by Hart , awarded to F. MAJOLINI , Feb.1858 ( probably the date of the action , not the awarding ) ?

Would anyone be able to help verify and provide a citation for a bronze AL VALORE DI MARINA medal named to " Pongetti Emilio / Marinaro / Ancona / 17 Ottob.1895 " Previous written letter inquiries to official Italian sources in 1995 produced no results

I have know of a named example in group with named IBEA Co Medal ( scroll suspender ) , E & W Africa medal for Mwele and Africa GSM for Jubaland ( this last unnamed but verified on roll ) The bar names being queried came from , if i remember correctly , someone writing in to a UK Medal magazine

Thank you. However the JOMSA text copied cuts off at JOMSA page 7 and there are no numbers issued quoted up until then

Has anyone ever published numbers awarded of Indian Title badges ? If yes, details would be much appreciated

Chiefs Medal also for Mkokotoni Re the Sultans Campaign Medal 1896: (1)a single source once seen quoted bars for Segeen, Bahwan, Muweelah and Toko Nogo but I have never seen these confirmed anywhere else .Can anyone confirm or refute ? (2) any recipient roll ever located ? (3) would anyone know issue numbers for medal and bars ?

Details of any and all one-off awards in any Dutch territories that later became British would be most welcome

Thank you for the information Unfortunately I do not have the facilities or expertise to post a picture which is why I tried to describe the medal

The Order / Institution of Military Merit that I was referring to was that of the French Ancien Regime created in 1759 for non-Catholic officers who could not be admitted to the Order of St.Louis I look forward to further contributions on this topic .Thanks for those above

Thank you Djedj.This extensive information is greatly appreciated

As noted above , the Societe seems to have had a Bravery Medal. However no literature in English about it yet seen by me ( ditto re the other medal of the Societe )

Thank you for this information Marconi Outside of the campaign medals , what other awards ( Imperial and States ) were made in various German colonial possessions (a)up to WW1 and (b) during WW1 before the British conquests and occupations ( eg a few hundred IC's in GSWA ; and for the troops under Von Lettow in E.Africa ? ) Any differences in eligibiity for locals / natives as opposed to Germans? Any awards of local origin ( eg Crosses of Krieger Vereins noted for GSWA ) ?

Thank you for the interesting and much appreciated information What would certainly be of interest would be ( re the St Louis ) : (a) number awarded to French serving in Canada and periods of issue and (b) a breakdown of the circa 180 French Canadian recipients into categories if such is possible ( this in order to get some idea of who was being rewarded ) Also: were any awards of the Military Merit Order made (a) in Canada and (b) to Canadians ?

Unfortunately not

I have noted O.Red Star to Kraege, US Army ( in a large group )
