      The scans were done by the owners daughter using very basic technology and very bad lighting. I will hopwfully have the piece with me in the New Year. Paul

      Very droll. In the previous organisation I worked for had many Americans who would send E-mails with American spelling, myself and a few others sticklers for English spelling in England would reply please re-write in English. Paul

      Dear all, I have been asked about this Dutch Medal which in many ways has similar obverse to the 1959 NSF proficiency medal. Is this an earlier incarnation of the NSF award. Thanks in advance.

      He's the emperor who needs more. I like his British F. Marshals baton and his Garter He's the Emperor, he doesn't need more, like the British F. Marshals baton and the Garter. Paul

      Oleg thank you very much for the information, I presume therefore it is an early republic piece, unusual to have plain silver medals in the Chinese series that's why I assumed it was Japanese. Thanks again. Paul

      I hate think what he was drinking when he produced that. Paul

      It think he should stick to the day job, religious iconography. Paul

      George, Nice group the naval LSGCs are one of my favourite US medals as they give so much information. I hope you can restore the ribbons as they were the ones he wore, if you have to re-ribbon then keep the originals with the group, so many collectors these days discard original tatty ribbons and replace them with nylon blasphemies.

      Is it my imagination or are the CASADA MOEDA pieces in slightly higher relief? Paul

      I'm not sure about the article but might be worth looking at the book. However, in my opinion the best book for this period and the events leading up to WWI is "the Sleepwalkers" by Christopher Clarke. The detail is amazing and there are a lot of Balkan sources previously ignored in earlier accounts. If you haven't read it, get a copy. Paul

      Zhukov looks jolly cheerful on the medal, almost worth having for that. Paul

      By this I mean, if you take the standard set of British Medals to a man killed sometime in 1915, you may pay EUR100... Chris where can I find trios to 1915 KIA for 100 euros? Let me know and I will snap them up. Paul

      Well spotted Pieter he is also wearing a lovely jewelled non-Christian St. Anne around his neck. Paul

      comparing with one in my possession which I know to be genuine I can see know obvious problems. I have seen this edge irregularities on other medals, given the thickness it does not appear to be a French made copy and there is no sign of it having ever been named, my example weighs 35.03 grams so unless there is a noticeable discrepancy I can't see a problem.
