    1. personally, I see a good cannon Mecklenburg cross, I have seen repeated releases, they fail to repeat the characteristic yellow-sand color and grain of the original.
    2. according to my suggestions, Judging by the numbers of the certificates, in the first two years after the establishment, about 115 thousand crosses were awarded, before the fall of the fascist dictatorship another 45 thousand, in April 1943 the document was numbered 156700.

    4. 122 gr, 600 mm diameter Tharwat Okasha (1921–2012) was an army officer involved in the Free Officers Movement, along with former president Nasser and his comrades, which toppled King Farouk of Egypt from his crown in what is known as the 23 July Revolution of 1952. As a child of an aristocratic family, Okasha received a good education, read books in foreign languages, and learned music very early on in his home. This background made him the most cultured and enlightened officer among his group of army officers. The intelligent young man, who was known for his rich, ample knowledge, was appointed minister of culture in the late 1950s by President Nasser. Okasha held the position twice from 1958 to 1962 and, again, from 1966 to 1970. The two terms made him the most prominent minister of culture in Egypt’s modern history. Okasha received his PhD in literature from Sorbonne in the 1960s and worked as visiting scholar at the College De France. He published more than 70 books, including his three-volume memoir titled My Memoirs in Politics and Culture, which is considered a rich resource for historians of the Nasserite era; as well as a 38-volume encyclopedia of arts titled The Eye Listens and the Ear Sees. During his terms in ministerial posts, he founded many cultural institutions that are still functioning and considered major Egyptian landmarks. For example, he founded the High Council for Culture and Arts (now called the Supreme Council for Culture), the Egyptian Book Organisation and, most importantly, the Arts Academy Paper green was in box with medal of bank Egypt.

    6. good morning! The Danish Plebiscite Medal of 1920, according to available information: The Medal was awarded to the British and French army and naval forces under the command of Vice Admiral T.D.L. Sheppard that occupied the Duchy during the plebiscite to ensure a fair and free election. These comprised the British 1st Battalion, The Sherwood Foresters and the French 22nd Battalion, Chasseurs Alpin commanded by Colonel Paul-Louis-René-Antoine de Soyer, the crews of HMS Carysfort, HMS Seawolf, HMS Sesame and HM Tug St. Anne, together with elements from the Royal Army Service Corps, Royal Army Medical Corps, Naval Supply Office and a military hospital". if we count the battalions of 800 people, and the crews of ships of 300, then we get about 2500 cavaliers, although I saw a statement on one of the sites that there are only 550 medals. is there any other information on the number of awards?
    7. good day! is it possible to see these circulars on the Internet, are they published?
    8. so I'm saying that if you strictly follow the decree, then both 1916-1918 and the Vichy types of 1941, 1942, 1943 will be "unofficial", as well as the type of 1945 from de Gaulle.
    9. I know that. Well, I don't like this gentleman, in 1908, a former navy who fought in Belgium, with a Military Cross without a star or a laurel and a distinguished colonial medal. In Russia now, the further away from 1945, the more veterans there are Fake veteran
    10. He has a Messinian medal in 1908, a colonial medal without a bar. A sailor? Or a clown in disguise?
    11. tell me, please, what decrees on the reverse of the "tablets" of Military Crosses were set the dates 1916-1918? As far as I know, the cross was established as 1914-1915, and the extension of dates is not mentioned in the original decree
    12. two different stamps of the cross for 10 years of service in MVSN
