Although this is a Certificate of Merit, If you look at the ribbon at the top of the certificate you will see this medal with rosette in the middle. However, No medal awarded with the Certificate as it is the award. Doc
It's a Certificate of Merit of the Belgium Society of the Red Cross. There may be a Belgian Red Cross medal to go with this certificate, I'm just not sure. There is a medal shown on the certificate. A Red Cross medal is shown top center below the Lion, rampart, on shield. The medal has a rosette on the ribbon. Doc
Gentlemen, Thank You from the bottom of my heart. This is one of my favorite forums. I owe a lot of my aquired knowledge to many of you. For that I'm eternally grateful!!! So, on to the next 1,000... Doc
Wouldn't that depend on the "quality" of the fake maker's mark. I would think that, especialy with the first round of fakes, that these would easily be spotted. Doc
Rod, You have been shown some of the Most beautiful Imperial ODMs. My personal favorite (ONLY because I have a 3rd class with swords, cased) is the Bavarian MVO. This means I have a long way to go. I could easily get distracted by the other ODMs presented in this thread. ANY would be worth it. Doc
Many Thanks!!! It's a GREAT display:jumping: I have the 3rd class with swords. Now, I can see how far I have to go...A long ways LOL I've saved the picture so I can print it and post it where I can always see it and the medals from this group that I still have to get!!! NOOOOOOO I'm not addicted... Doc
I agree with Gerd. I bought a 20th & 30th Anniversary of the GPW on the same order and they were actually the first items on that order. I added to OBoH after a second look at my wallet and the price tag. Any first medal is important. It starts you down the road. Doc
