...and a legitimation to that medal...

Only Slovak WWII medal in my collection: Commemorative medal for defence of Slovakia in march 1939

Two hungarian medals in my collection...

I have only this case for Red Eagle Order medal...

Silberne Milit?rverdienstmedaille - Karl (two times awarded) - case

hunyadi: I don?t think so... its 100 % military service cross.. memorial cross 1912/13 (mobilisation cross) would be placed behind jubilee medal and jubilee cross. and ribbon on the foto is for military service cross...

and one more...

webr55: yeah, thats it... this miniature was on both bravery medals... on ribbon...

Sorry U had to wait two years, i have found this forum only yesterday.. i am happy that I could help U with translation.. As i now look on the address, it should be Skuhrov nad Bělou...

Hi.. I don?t think that medals with german Z instead of C in DECEMBER is version after 1900. its only a "fashionable" variation... there is a lot of variations of War medal 1873... the luxury box is wonderfull, the second is some kind of "universal" box.. it was used for several medals - jubilee medal 1898, jubilee cros 1908, silver bravery medal I. class, memorial cross 1912-13, etc..

Eduardo: My dear brother in law, sister and "Vilou?ku" (i think its nickname for Viliam)... At first, recieve my greetings and kisses.. I must once more thank you and tell you, that i am well relishing. chees, eggs and especially butter are like made for bread. (he probably got a packet with food from them). Here is opportunity to buy soap, so I will save some and will bring it. It costs 10 Kronen (Austro-hungarian currency), but what to do when at home (in Skuhrov nad B?lou in Bohemia-now Czech republic) its inpossible to buy it. Greetings and kisses from yours Otakar...

what exactly are U looking for? maybe I can help...

Hi.. it is really cross for voluntary fire brigade 1928 of city Pre?ov (Slovak republic).. in 1928 was Slovakia part of Czechoslovakia..

Jubilee medal 1898 is civil version, on red-white ribbon, jubilee cross 1908 is civil version too - on red ribbon

That bar is 100 procent fabricated... the ribbon on jubilee medal 1898 is for civil version, but the medal is military version!

It is slovak bravery medal III. class (bronze) "?" is for academic sculptor ?tefunko Fraňo, who is the author of this medal... The enamel device on the ribbon is a integral part of the bravery medal... Rick Research: the ribbon on photo U have posted is not bravery medal for slovaks, but it is ribbon of War winning cross V.-VII. class...
