    1. the small medal with the green/white/green medal is a "gratitude medal donated by the city of seraign to the WW2 veterans" thanks
    2. this is my new link to my WW1 fire cross medals http://www.dcollect.net/Belgium/WW1/Fire_Cross/fire_cross.html
    3. hey there , this is the back of the rare medal with the very short cannon .
    4. i payed 25 euro for this strange example with the short cannon . not so much but a lot of money for a fire cross in belgium .
    5. and here my latest find , payed a lot of money for it but it's the first in 20 years of collecting i have seen a maker variation with a very strange cannon
    6. can anyone give some more information about this campaign medal ?? it is covered with glass and with a iron ring around it thanks , bjorn .
    7. dcollect, Okay, so your type 2 variation 3 is different from the three examples I shown above, looking at the lettering and crown rays. Can you post larger PICS of the Variation 4? Also, how sure are you that it is in fact a restrike? I very well may have this version but I would like to confirm it with better/larger PICS first. How common is the restrike? Thank you! Tim hello there , i followed the post for a while and i see on your pics you have the variation you are talking about as you can see on my site , i do not need to send the bigger pics , you have this one in your collection . more info about the restrike and what made me think it is a restrike : - this variation is a medal with a very new finish as you look at the color - i have never seen this variation in a original grouping - a lot of the medals on the ebay and other websites are from this type and specialy the last 8 years - in belgium there is a collector who have 100 of them all together with some other restriked medals ( arab campaign , african ampaign WW2 , etc.... ) - most of the medals come without the iron pins to mount the ribbon on the uniform . Now the good part for your medal , i call it a restrike and not a fake one , this is a restrike but by a correct original WW1 maker and with the same machine . it looks 99 procent at the WW1 ones , only with a very 1 procent error in the strike . these are striked again far after the war for people who had lost there medals and for the collections . every medal in belgium can be reproduced by medal makers . so do not worry this is not a fake one so do not throw it away please . i have one in my collection and i like it because i collect the belgium medals by type and maker thanks , dcollect
    8. i do have the 3 types and 3 variations in my collection with a little information http://www.dcollect.net/collection/belgium/WW1_AREA/The_Fire_Cross_1914-1918/the_fire_cross_1914-1918.html thanks , dcollect
