More exactly the obverse read. "july 18 th 1936, Upraising" and the reverse. "April 1, 1939 victory"; The dates from the beginning of the spanish civil war and of his end... I think is a real medal, but not a rare item, in bronze... regards Miguel

a close up... Miguel

Not Any hint of animosity, but the feeling that I?ve for a lot of time collecting on my own, outside any forum and in a desert like surroundings...(Not specially easy to collect here, in Spain, and in Valencia in particular...One thiNk thaT nothing of this world exist outside of Madrid and Barcelona...). So The world internet open before my hungry eyes was of a world of plenty...So, possibly, I was something of acritical in my first buys of medals&orders, and after this I?ll try to focus more...but the scarcity of informations, and Books and the unknowledge of other forums...are very harming to my line of collect... You know some greedy interest to find something in your own field of interest, but no possibility to pause and take time for the studying of the piece in question. So find this forum both stimulating and awesome...in the wide of my pretty locked things. Well I?ll pest you with questions till you wish I collect beefcans... Regards Miguel a close up...

Yes, is always the same thing...I?ve ever think the th SN of the USSR orders are enought to find the recipient name and so on, but it seems that it?s neccesary to kno the name of the recipient...?? So I must admit that a large part of my collection is composed by "pretty piece of locked-up history"...? Sadly...Miguel

a close up of the back Miguel

Chir?stian, what do you think about this Red banner ordr 2nd award...at 400 USD? Regards Miguel PS/ A Fake...???

Is cristal clear that you have a fine eye for the detail... I disagree on the Isabella order, the rays between the cross?s arms are missing... Miguel

I?ve thinking about the court for the Orders he displays... Miguel AGREDA

Is very interesting... Kapellemeister is...Music Director of the Court??? Miguel

Yes I think you has reason. I remember a old Photo of Otto Planetta who killed Chancellor Dolfuss, bearing a similar uniform, I?forgot he is austrian...Fighting for the german Nazis... Regards Miguel

It seems german, of the reichwher, I?ve seen some photos in the interwar years...

Excuse me what do you see as the hint to make suspicion fell on this bar??? I?ll be lectured on the matter, please...Or I?ll be a easy prey to thi forgers.... Thanks Miguel , What do you think about this bar, It?s a fake???, because I?ll to consider bought it... Please alittle help, as soon as possible... Miguel

Gentlemen: What a shudder I?ve down my spine!!!, I always, save the more obvius faked, are completely thinking that the bars I?ve seeing, at not precisely low prices, are the real yhing...I know is possibly out of the scope of you discussion but, I personally, will be more the grateful if you can send me some ready made hints to, suspect if any of this offering in eBay are or not be considerd fake or...must be treated with considerable precaution. Thanks before hand, I?m ever more feeling me, after more that 15 years collecting that the more I know is the more i unknow... Miguel AGREDA

I?m a rookie in all that matter about the precedence?s system of german orders, but, the "Sachsen, Milit?r-St. Heinrichsorden, Ritterkreuz. ", don?t be first that the Friedrich august medal??? and the other orders...or...not being a Bravery order is in the last post???, the albrech order is nor a superior to FA medal???, too...(Or if this is a "Tuxedo-Frac) group, can be seen in reverse order (but what about the EKII??). It looks somewhat stange to me... Another explication is that the last cross is a forign cross like the romanian Crown order, but...the ribbon don?t seems to correspond...?? I?ll look for more lecturing on the respect. Thanks Miguel

Where??? Miguel

Wow!! A truly Napoleonic Medal...imagine is winned at Aspern- Essling or Wagram? Congrats Miguel

What part you prefer, All the front circle??. The Spassky tower??. A pity for the maximum sizer of upload (110k)...(some trick??) Regards Miguel

Thanks, Quick answer. She looks strange,but I?ve not much experience with this crosses...on the fake?s side. Miguel

What do you think... Mguel

? Dear Jim: I accept any suggerence you made me (sorry for my bad english - scar- scare...). What do you think I must make with images...? I?m considering send the medal to any of you (better living in Europe!!) Be a collector, not a dealer, my interest is not the market price, but its truly authentication... (I prefer to change medals for anothers I more sough) Regards Miguel

I don?t agree on the Wing?s struts but possibly the wheels are different... Miguel

It looks like a English Bulldog...But, If this is german, so we must search in the Fockewulf trainers... like the Focke-Wulf Fw 44 "Stieglitz" Miguel

The Nicham Ifthikar is a Tunucian Order, Not very difficult to find whith a wide variety of emissiom (one for each consecutive bey (or Govenor), that display thei name in arabic on the front side of the order, so, they seems the same but they are not... Is a General "service to the country" order. The other one is a well know finn order "The white rose of finland"

I?m wordless...Caro Claudio...Dove trovate questa meraviglia?? Miguel

That diplomatic Pair, White rose Order and Officer of Nicham Ifthikar Order, Mohammed el habib bey emission, (1922-1929)
