Greetings all. I just bought a small medal that I believe is a South Africa WWII Victory Medal. Can you experts out there help me out? Please take a look at the photos and help identify it. Thank you very much. Linas

Thanks Alex. Linas

GREAT info. Thanks! Linas

Hello Paul, I have done as thorough a Google search as possible on Portuguese and even Papal orders, and I came up with nothing that looks like the 'sacred heart' of this commander's cross. Am I missing something? Please help steer me in the right direction, if you can. Thanks. Linas

Hello Paul, Would that be France or Portugal? Linas

Greetings again. I just did a search of all Portuguese orders and medals, current and extinct. I found nothing that resembes this commander's cross. Any other ideas? Thanks. Linas

Wow, you are full of info. Thanks a ton. Linas

Greetings all. I have another commander's cross I bought in France. It was simply titled 'sacre couer', or sacred heart. I have no information on this, so anything you can offer to help identify this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Linas

Great stuff! Thanks again. Linas

WOW! Thank you very much. Take care. Linas

Interesting idea Wood. I need to research who the Patron Saint is for flyers. Thanks. Linas

Hello Claudius, Thanks for your comments. It may very likely be a sweetheart badge - didn't think of that. And yes, the manufacture is professional, with "PARIS" on the reverse. I though don't have it in my possession yet. Other comments would be greatly appreciated. Take care. Linas

Greetings All. I just bought an aviation badge here in France. I though do not know if it is French or from another country. I also do not know what it is for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank Claudio for taking the time to do the research. Take care. Linas

Greetings All. I just purchased a curios Italian (?) medal with the WWI InterAlly ribbon and "Al Merito" on the medallion, a red cross, and an Italian combat helmet - please see the photos. Is this just a fantasy piece? Can you at least identify what the medal is for by looking at the front and back of the medallion? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Uwe, It is not that I distrust the other member. It is HE who suggested I post specifically for Austria, because he wasn't sure exactly what it is. Thanks for the info. Linas

Greetings All. I just bought from an online auction what another GMIC member told me it is from Austria, from the Province of Styria or Stiermark. Please take a look at my scans. Can you please identify where it is from, what it is called, and what it is awarded for? Is it military? Also, any other information would be great. Thank you.

Thank you very much Paul. Linas

Greetings. I just bought from an online auction a medal that appears to be Czech or Slovak in origin - due to the rampant lion design. I need help identifying it. Please take a look at the photos. If you recognize it, can you please tell me from what country, its name, what it was awarded for, and anything else? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Linas PS: if not Czech or Slovak, any lead in the right direction would also be helpful. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2013/post-3713-0-30017700-1359472271.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2013/post-3713-0-08221800-1359472283.jpg

Hello Chris, I agree - but what country? Thanks. Linas
