    2. The Head of the House of Romanoff has established for women the Imperial Order of St. Anastasia in Honor of the First Tsaritsa of the Romanoff Family, Anastasia Romanovna

      On 20 August 2010, the Head of the Russian Imperial House, H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Wladimirovna, established the Imperial Order of the Holy Great Martyr Anastasia for women, and approved its Statute.

      The Order was established in honor of the Holy Great Martyr Anastasia, the “Alleviatrix of Captives,” who was executed for her Christian faith in the year 304 during the persecutions of the Emperor Diocletian, and in memory of her namesake, the first tsaritsa of the Romanoff family, Anastasia Romanovna (1530 – Moscow, 7/20 August 1560), the life and fate of whom foreshadowed, by Divine Providence, the royal service of Tsar Mikhail I Fedorovich and his descendants.

      The Orden Militar de la Constancia (The Military Order of Loyalty)

      was created in 1946, but is one of the least known and studied of the Spanish

      military decorations, as it belonged to the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco.

      One of its main characteristics was that it was bestowed only on long-serving

      Moroccan officers (Caids) of the Protectorate Khalifian Army. This personnel

      was included in the different military and security units, such as the

      Mehal-las, the Mejaznías and the Khalifa’s Personal Guard, which, although

      managed and administered by the Majzen (the Khalifian Government), were

      nonetheless subordinated to the Spanish Executive and Interventors of the

      Protectorate. This paper analyzes the creation and legislative evolution of

      the Order in its two categories (medal and plaque) during its nine years

      of existence, as well as the process and peculiarities of its concession, and

      also the profile and origin of the beneficiaries. The complete list of all the

      individuals who entered the Order in all its categories is provided, as well as

      unpublished images of this decoration.

    5. Dear Sirs

      Unfortunately this group does not doubt that it is wonderful in almost everything except the white Cross of Military Merit, which includes ... that is a model that is only in force since 2003 This cross includes a crown of monarchy period (1864-1931) and since 1977, but also the central shield is the approved model for the Crosses of Merit in 2003 for existing models since 2003

      For models please see www.coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/mm03.htm

      In the period of the bar that should lead open crown (known as imperial, 1937-1977)

      Please see www.coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/omm19361977.htm

      Regarding the six-pointed cross, indeed it is rifaat category, equivalent to the knight

      Please see www.coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/medhauia.htm

      This is indeed the Order of the Mehdauia, one of the three orders Spanish Protectorate of Morocco, founded in 1926 and in force until 1956 former interns concessions to foreign personnel: Portugal, Germany, Italy, Mexico, etc.. (ROLF CARLS; ZYMALKOWSKI FELIX; OTTO CILIAX...)

      The other two orders are the Military Order of Constance, 1946-1946 only official Khalifa Forces Moors troops

      See www.coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/constanciapro.htm

      and the Order of Hasania (1949-1956)

      See www.coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/hasania.htm

      About the Mhedauia, sure there are copies in Italy, besides those manufactured in Spain, but actually can be found growing specimens with and crescent and star, or a kind of lily

      The origin of this star -also known as Solomon's seal or star-seems to come from the time of al-Andalus, although usually it is identified as a unique element of Judaism and the state of Israel-Star of David, having been used also by other cultures and states of Islamic influence. This star appears on coins, stamps and old documents from Morocco. In 1912 he added to his flag, in 1915 in the French Protectorate becomes five points but it retains six Spanish in the Protectorate.

    6. Allegory type I. Matron representing to Spain, offering a laurel wreath. It leans on a shield with a head of lion

      Coat of Arms type M1: Simplified dynastic shield with the five traditional quarts: Castile, Leon, Aragon, Navarre and, Granada. Central shield with lises. Royal crown

      Coat of Arms type R2: The created in 1869 for the I Republic, with the five traditional quarts: Castile, Leon, Aragon, Navarre and, Granada. Mural crown and Hercules's columns are placed with the motto “PLUS ULTRA”, without crowns

      Allegoty tipe II. Crowned Matron, offering an olive crown with his right hand. The sinister hand leans on a sword. Low the right handed arm, a head of lion. At the back a nascent sun

      Also I known for this type the Matron wearing left and also right

    7. So far, except the types of industries EGAÑA does not seem facil to assign models to manufacturers.

      Besides many of Military Medals have been done for jewel cases and craftsmen that knowing the model have contributed his fantasy: precious stones, variations in the elements, different sizes, etc

      Please, do not forget that these models are in study and descriptions and allocations can suffer modifications

      Also that any information, included quality images of obverses and reverses are necessary. You can send to me to my email
