    1. Price list now on line at wwwmortonandeden.com. A bit late due to staff absences. Sensible offers will be considered, if none are received they will be reconsigned. Anyone interested can PM me. Paul
    2. I will try and persuade her to keep still next time she wears it, obverse of Cross has gilt head of German Shepherd cross black and yellow, reverse plain gilt with inscription Honor al Merito Canino
    3. Wonderful trio, expensive but worth every penny, as rare as rocking horse manure. Paul
    4. Artan, Is it the standard medal which has been subsequently silvered with the shield painted. I suspect Radmilo will be able to give you a definitive answer. Paul
    5. The jeton is acommemorative for the completion of the Memorial to Alexander II in 1898, there were also large-sized medals and a commemorative rouble issued for the same event. Paul
    6. When we have guests or family events. Identical lab to mine. Paul
    7. The Colombians have the best award, The Canine Merit Decoration (Al Merito Canino), which is placed round my labradors neck on special ocassions. I presume the decoration was awarded to police dogs based on the number of felons or government opponents they bit where it really hurts. Paul
    8. Yes the Chinese did incredibly well, the type 2 1/3 star made £8,500, even managed to shift that late Cloud and Banner for £2,400. Paul
    9. It seems that you can't give Japanese medals away even at a half to a third of what they were making 35 years ago, even the auspicious clouds sold on the reserve. I reckon if I sold my collection of Raj Medals to Indians I could fill a warehouse with Japanese ODM on the proceeds. Paul
    10. I will have to execute the photographer for getting the star the wrong way round. Also lot of dirt cheap Japanese in the auction. Paul
    11. Thanks Nick nice to see what they are getting up to. Paul
    12. Nice one radmilo. Do you have any other images of insignia of association. Paul
    13. Even the most common ones would sell for several hundreds. Paul
    14. Purports to be of the Stalin Socialist Realism era but the quality is not, badges from that period are of superb quality, one only has to look at the Moscow Metro badge to see the craftsmanship. I am afraid I have to agree with Nick, it looks a bit of Gorky Park special. Paul
    15. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2013/post-3085-0-01532900-1372175971.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2013/post-3085-0-44682900-1372176116.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2013/post-3085-0-13109700-1372176150.jpgI have been asked by a friend about this, I think it is Croatian as the symbolism appears to be Roman Catholic rather than Orthodox, any help gratefully received. Paul
    16. I have heard rumours about Mihai's Order of Victory but some of them seem to have stepped into little green men territory. The pieces I was referring to are published and verifiable Paul
    17. Where was the Order of Victory sold? Paul
    18. Ms Lee does not know what she is talking about, were it to sell it would be the third most expensive medal 1) Washington's Order of Cincinnati $4 million, 2) Earl of Durham's Order of St Andrew £1.1 million. May be others I don't know of. Paul
    19. Research Enquiries: research@firepower.org.uk Paul
    20. Firepower Museum (RA Museum) in Woolwich should be able to help. Paul
    21. Is the second photo taken after he has completed his sexual orientation awareness course Paul
    22. Some what pissed off that he lost his British awards in 1917. Paul
