can you send a pic of the total bar ? this is not the normal ribbon so i think it is a medal donated to a non belgium reciepient ?

I found someone that helped me to sort them out 3 of thelm are copys and the rest are OK thanks for everything .

thanks , for the aircrew europe star i kew it was a copy thanks to the http://www.lancs.ac....i/acediscussion site and now i can sort the medals out and telling the strange VI is a copy to i will put some more pics tonight of the medals that make a change of being good thanks ,

thanks for the information i see there is not a big amount of information about this subject on the net . i checked avery medal i have and only 1 of them ( aircrew europe star ) have 5 dots on the crown and the others are 4 1/2 dots , is this a sign on evry campaign medal or only on the ( aircrew europe star ) ? and what about the VI on the 1st pic i put on the topic thanks , bjorn .

hello there I am sorting out of my collection of britisch and i am looking for some information or sites where i can find out if my stars are good or not , i have them for about 15 years now and never looked at them if they are good . they all come from groupings and non of them are named . on the 1st pic are all the medals i have now on the 2nd pic is a closeup and i see 2 differend cyphres VI and differend crownes , is this a sign of coy or original ? thanks , bjorn .

Nice piece of history ,

Sometimes they are engraved with the name of the owner on the back i only have 1 in my collection that is named

never seen this one before not many fire brigades gives a extra medal for a couple of years in service , because every firefighter gets his civil decoration with green white ribbon for a couple of years in service , i know some of the city does it and mostly there is something to do with fire or axes etc on the medal . the medal came with others ? maybe you can trace the origin ?

" The second person is wearing Belgian Congo award: A gilt service star (model 1910), medal in the Order of the Lion, another medal (hard to tell if it is also an Order of the Lion or an Order of the African Star), silver service star (model 1889). " the middle 2 medals are a order of the lion and a order of the african star , all 4 medals are totally related to belgian congo so i think this person has done a great service there , nice set of medals

i have the intention but i can not find the time to do it , i only did it for the WW1 fire cross at my website but now i have to many hobby's and the wife needs a lot of attention to , :D

hello everyone, here is a view on my collection , i mainly collect belgium medals but i like the french medals to

" From what period this piece would be... is it king Albert's chiper on the obverse (in this case is this piece from 1909-1934 period) " the chiper is always on the front and back but this is a older one because there is a lot of detail i the medal , this is a nice one . "Like I understand 1914-1918 period cross had swords instead?" The medals with swords on are a other medal and not for service in the administration in belgium these medals or the administration are not so expensive , outside belgium ??

Not so common , you can find them in this variation and in a variation with a red cross in the cirkel .

Very nice medal , and the ribbon gives it something special . some times you will find them with a replacement ribbon that is to new for these medals .

ribbon is for the "NLF Soldier of Liberation Order"

thanks for posting all of these pictures , so i can begin to search for these books here i belgium strange thing is that i have a large collection and do not have any of these books .

nice site , thanks for posting .

there are a lot of people out there with the same problem , i have a few bad deals with russian buyers . package arrived at the buyer side but empty , this an happen but i am on ebay and other sites for 10 years and the last few months i had 3 bad deals and all in russia , every time i have a transaction like this i mentioned it in the feedback ( neutral fedback with a lot of text ) so if someone have the same problem with the buyer he can look in the feedback and see it is not the 1st time so mabe the problem is at the side of the buyer and not the side of the seller . thanks ,

good luck in finding a original piece , these are very hard to find .

is this the book "Distinctions Honorifiques de la Belgique" ??? if so i am very interested , i know it is a old thread but maybe it is still available ???
