This is a piece for the period 1942-1977 in silver .915 (star in ellipse) and perhaps for Celestino Jordana (Madrid) 23M in hexagon A good item of "Comendador de número", Commander with plaque See for actual types https://coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/omc.htm

Thank you New update

The differences between second and third class crossings are almost impossible to appreciate in black and white photographs. The plaque of 2nd class, is in silver with castles and lions in gold. The plaque of 3rd class is in gold with castles and lions in silver. The Great Cross is the third class with the sash, which is not seen in any of the photographs of the German admirals. That is why it is necessary to find the concession decrees where the class is specified

I dont know the date for this admiral It depends on the employment he had when he was granted. The model of the pic is used from 1939 The second class cross, for commander, lieutenant commander, and also lieutenant colonels and assimilated Third class, for captains, colonels and assimilated. I suposse thath for this class

Update of the ribbon sheet

Thank you VJK Previously I found the name as Giichi Nagata, chief of the Independent Field Artillery Brigade in the 3rd Army.

The French presence in the Spanish military Autor: Comisión Española de Historia Militar This ninth volume of the Cuadernos de Historia Militar focuses on the French presence in the various constituent parts of the Spanish militia, a presence that has its particularities and differences to those studied in previous volumes, but which can be traced over time, beginning with the Reconquest and ending in the middle of the Twenty Century. Men, units, materials and procedures were elements of this presence. https://publicaciones.defensa.gob.es/media/downloadable/files/links/t/h/the_french_presence_in_the_spanish_military.pdf

I would need to confirm that the names are correct and any information, including portraits, attesting to the award of these crosses (the source is handwritten and some names may not be correct and some seem to have been translated into Spanish) Thank you Distinguished in the action that occurred between the fields between Sesma and Los Arcos on December 3, 1838 Silver crosses Sergeant 1: John Brady, Edward Kelly, Bernard Kelly Sergeant 2: John Pearson, Frederick Waldrow, Frederick Oppendoff Corporal 1 Michael Stephens, Thomas Reilly, Thomas M.

The Cross of 2nd class is a silver plaque, with the cross in the center, and is worn on the left side of the chest, without other distinction. In the 3rd class the plaque is gold, and larger. The fourth class or Grand Cross insignia had a wide ribbon sashwith a pendant 1st cross. In addition they used the third class plate with the rectangle for the silver inscription The one he wears may be second class, but on the opposite side to the regulation

In 2002, a new system of Decorations was established in the National Police, made up of Honorary, Anniversary, Years of Service and Academic Medals. Among the honorary medals are a. Medalla al Valor "Subcomisionado Juan Ramón Tórrez Espinoza" b. Medalla al Mérito "Primer Comisionado Christian Munguía Alvarado" c. Medalla al Servicio Distinguido "Comandante de Regimiento Saúl Álvarez Ramírez" that seem to replace the previous ones a) Medalla al Valor "Pedro Aráuz Palacios" b) Medalla al Mérito "Marcos Somarriba" c) Medalla al Servicio Distinguido "Comandante de Regimiento Saúl Álvarez Ramírez" Then this Marcos Somarriba Medal of Merit would be awarded to the Police who have an outstanding participation in police activities related to the maintenance of public order, the security of people and their property, the investigation and clarification of the crime, or that with the outstanding result of their work in administrative, logistical, scientific-technical, financial and service activities, contribute to the modernization, development and strengthening of the institution. I have read concessions that have been made posthumously. The medal of merit is awarded in three classes, depending on the hierarchical level held by the decorated person. a. First Class (Gold plating), will be awarded to general officers and above. b. Second Class (Silver), will be awarded to junior officers. c. Third Class (Bronze), will be awarded to officials of the executive rank. However, when a Police Officer, Junior Officer or Executive Officer, is decorated for the second time with one of these medals, the new Medal will be awarded in the immediately superior class.

Trank you. A new ribbon for update the ribbon chart

Thank you Yes, it is similar to the Spanish uniforms, but I do not know this combination of a collar emblem and this type of stars, formed by two superimposed four-pointed ones in the Spanish Navy
