Thanks a lot. Rick, as ever......A bit more of information

Miguel

VERY easy with an EPSON scanner.

Show the other side with his personal details.

I own aEpson perfection 3490 phpto. what?s the best resolution for this type of docs.??? (I?ve it at 300 ppp)

Difficult to find the optimal size...

You can't read it because it isn't there-- it is off the margin at left, not copied. I hope you have his Awards Record Card.

He was a (off page) ofAdministrative Services at (off page) Operational Instruction Unit Military Warehouse (? 309 2 VA ?)

Name Trofim Ivanovich Salat, Ukrainian, peasant, born 1899. Holder of the 1918-1938 Jubilee Medal.

To Rick and all the other gentlemen. I?ve just receive 5 documents on medals I own...Of one of them I can?t identify the grade of this man. (I own only their Military service medal nr.. 1537431)

I f you send me your email adress I could send you the doc. at a reasonable size.

Thanks, beforehand.

I wish you a Very Good new year....(but the things are rather dark...)

Hello Hipnos,

Thank you for posting the star and documents. Is the reverse of your star marked? Besides Medina, Celjavo may have made this Order in Spain.

I can?t provide you with this information. This is a pic i keeep on my files. I heve one (knigt with ribbon) and don?t have any jewelwers mark.

Miguel

I hope he looks correctly now...

Miguel

The Arabic document (though small) seems to be upside down.

Does anybody know what the large cross with ribbon on the funeral pillow might be? The one above it is the Iron Cross First Class of course, just want clarification on the one attached to the large ribbon below it. John

I think the same thing, in another pic of different angle on the matter of a spanish-german bar, one could appreciate more clearly that is a Hungarian merit cross commander... and the Medahuia Breast star...

The spanish doc to a MD.

Miguel

Aha. The right title and the right person KNOWS.

EXCEPTIONALLY beautiful Order-- one I've never seen before.

This guy was probably on the Armistice Commission 1940-42 in North Africa, back and forth from Spanish to French Moroccos.

"Casablanca," anyone?

Hey Rick and lads. Thats the MEDAHUIA Order (Spanish Colonial order from the Marocco "Protectorate"

, or "Spanish Marocco")

I add the concession doc in arabian and the spanish doc.

Miguel

I'd have to say based on no match anything even close that it's a fake. The too light stamp, bad browned paper, no-such-person "signature".....

Well, that?s a little dissapointing. What can one make to buy something that?s would be trusted... ??. No evil eCrap this time...I think it was a known seller...but I can?t remind their name...

Again...Thanks for your expertize...

Miguel

Looking good, personally I would toss the flag out and get something more suited to the EK as a centrepiece.

Best

Chris

Explendid!!!

By the way, please someone send me a link to manufacturer?s list of EK2, 1939, I?m just missing the mine...Thanks

Miguel

Miguel

He come the doc. I?ll send a close up of sign and name&reg.

thanks Rick

miguel

Yes.

It is called

"post a scan here and we will read it."

Hello. I?m out of my deep on the document matter. I?ve a EKII doc.&cross awarded to a feldwebel of the 31 Pz.Reg. (5th. Pz.Div.) dated December 1939, is signed by the Generalleutnant but Don?t seems match with the name of the teorethical CO. at this moment, Max von Hartlieb genannt Walsporn. Any way to a link on the german general signatures???...

Thanks in advance.

Miguel

Jeff,

I have not yet decided how to "distribute" this. If there is some interest I will copy it to cd as a pdf file for a nominal fee at some stage.

webr55,

they are generally in order of name and again sorted by rank. There are actually four full pages of Schmidts!

Here are some awards on the non-combatant ribbon.

Regards

Glenn

Great!!!!.

Please consider me to be on the waiting list and I agree beforehand on the fees.

thanks again

Miguel

...and another.

As a Collector and someone interested in the Slavas...I would to know if there is some book where the OB of the WW" Red army, listed their forces and situation at differents war years. I?m a researched Group Slava 3c, and the owner has too the "Liberation of Budapest" medal, he is in the 49 Shock Army and I would to know more about this unit?s moves...

thanks

Miguel

Hello Dave and Kevin,

You are speaking about two possible ribbons for the Signum Memoriae: red and half red/half white. Is this ribbon a wrong one, or is it a Hongarian issue?

kind regards,

Jef

Yes it?s wrong, this is an Hungarian (modern) medal ribbon...

regards

Miguel

Considering the first image is being sold as a fake by what seems as a knowledgable eBay seller it's worth is less than an OG3, especially since the number seems to have been messed with.

Some idiot will bid 300 on it. I hope it's not you.

edit: That was kind of harsh on my part. I in no way mean to imply that you're one of those folk that bid on obvious fakes on eBay. I apologize for even briniging that up. I should not post while enjoying Saturday evening libations. I am sorry.

Don?t be worried...Luckily I?m not bidding on it...I ask before as is the case....

regards to all of you

Miguel :beer:

Try the antiques market in Covent Garden on Mondays. Steven Wheeler of Cecil Court has a stall there. Other stall holders also have medals & various items of militaria.

Enjoy your trip.

Thanks To all of you

Miguel

Malcolm Gordon - Gray's Market, off Oxford Street -- some Imperial items, but more Third Reich

Ray Holdich - Whitcomb Street, by the National Gallery -- worldwide stock

Steve Wheeler - Cecil Court -- worldwide stock

Thanks Jeff!! :cheers:

Hello Gentlemen. I?ll go to London (probably) in the 1st or 2nd August week. I would to know some good dealers in central London. Some of them selling Imperial german Bars will be fully appreciated.

Thanks to all of you beforehand.

regards

Miguel

It's never fun to find out that someone you knew and trusted may have pulled a fast one. I'd like to think that the fellow who sold it to Doc didn't know either, but that's speculation on my part. The only thing I will add is the quality of the enamel work on the example shown by Doc doesn't seem up to a level as this example of the Grand Cross I just found on the net in only a few seconds:

Yeah!! It seems that if this is made New (as it looks) by the National Polish Mint, they must have some guys in training. Not a good job already...as you say, for a high (Highest??) order. You can Look at the Orders in the old palace in Warsaw and you can?t even be in doubt anymore.

Sorry...that happens to everybody, sometimes...

Miguel
