hey there , this is the back of the rare medal with the very short cannon .

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 .

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

can anyone give some more information about this campaign medal ?? it is covered with glass and with a iron ring around it

thanks , bjorn .

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

i do have the 3 types and 3 variations in my collection with a little information

hello there

i am sorting out my medals to make a database and i need some information about these 3 medals .

thanks , dcollect .

Very nice Guy,

Again, Thank you for sharing!! Are there any more there for sale?

Can anyone help me with the value of a original example ?

this pith helmet came to me with many french indochine medals , is this helmet french ? , old ? and what is the value if somebody know the value .

hello fellow collectors , just found this site and i will help you with some information .

all the medals and ribbons are connected with each other and are from a WW2 organisation named FRONT UNIQUE - EENHEIDSFRONT

this was a WW2 resistance group but mainly they made secret papers and secret newspapers ( clandestine press ) .

i have some of them in my collection .
