Hi speedytop - hi Uwe,

thanks for helping and for your comments.

I have seen your Hungary-General.

I am sure, that the Austrian - Army is using the same lace (gold braid) for their shoulder-bords.

I try to find a foto, it takes a few days.

Comming again.

Hello gentlemen,

I show you the 4 star general army in germany, for dress suite

so called "4 Sterne General"

an offical: "Gerneral des Heeres", Ausgeanzug.

It is handmade from boullion, the embroidery is three dimensional.

The picture is bad, the thing is perfect.

Hope you like it.

Thanks.

Hi raverick,

I am sorry to tell you that it seems to be a fake-document.

The germans normal write:

Berlin, den 12. M?rz 1940

I also think that the stamping is bad. You cannot check the inside.

Sorry, its a fake!

Regards

Elvis

UNIFIL United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon

Originally, UNIFIL was created by the Security Council in 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area.

Following the July/August 2006 crisis, the Council enhanced the Force and decided that in addition to the original mandate, it would, among other things, monitor the cessation of hostilities; accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the south of Lebanon; and extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons.

Here you find the Deutsches Bundeswehr decorations!

Hello gentlemen,

the ribbon for these medals are very specialy made.

I think the manufacturer has used a kind of screenprinting to do the black pattern.

Because it is not possible to do it with weft or warp.

Any better solutions?

Thanks

Hello gentlemen,

I got some plastic-boxes with the logo of saudi arabia.

In two different sizes.

I think they are for ribbonbars and maybe for miniatures.

Does somebody knew a few more?

I like to swap them.

The foto is very bad. But the boxes are pretty new. If you leave me your e-mail-adress I will provide you a better picture.

Thanks

The Mission ATALANTA

Deeply concerned by the outbreak of acts of piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast, the European Union launched military operation EU NAVFOR Somalia (operation "Atalanta"), which is conducted in support of UN Security Council Resolutions 1814 (2008), 1816 (2008), 1838 (2008) and 1846 (2008) in order to contribute to:

• the protection of vessels of the WFP (World Food Programme) delivering food aid to displaced persons in Somalia;
• the protection of vulnerable vessels cruising off the Somali coast, and the deterrence, prevention and repression of acts of piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast.

After 30 days they expect an award.

You can see the regular medal size here:

Thanks for your comments!

Hi Sivart,

sorry I am 100 % sure. This badge is not a badge for the Bundeswehr.

For me it looks like a hunting-club-badge.

In my opinion it is also not a badge from WWII - maybe veterans.

If haven`t seen it before.

Hi Ed,

I have got two medals from Algeria.

Can you explain to me, what is the name of each.

The differnce is only the star.

I have seen from you ed some wich are very similar, but than they are using another ribbon (the colors are differt).

And also on my product the star is the other way round as on your foto. What is the right way?

Please.

Thanks

Elvis

Hello Demir,

what a nice collection. I would like to get one of these, if availble.

I prefer the english wording.

Do you have one for trading.

I can serve you with the actuell UN Missions.

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks Elvis, I think this was indicated earlier. Must have been a switch in ribbon designs? A mystery

Hi Darrell,

now I have found a website:

http://www.medals.lava.pl/int/int.htm

Here I see the same UNAMID design!

Please check carefully.

Thanks

Hello Darrell,

in germany we are allowed to wear the clasp on the ribbon bar. Our ribbon bar is 25 x 13 mm. Today there is only one mission without the clasp. It is for the service in

MACEDONIA in our language MAZEDONIEN.

Is there a posibilty to upload bigger files than 70 K?

Then i will send more of my ribbon bars.

Thanks for your replay

Elvis

Hi again,

please let me know.

Hi to all of you,

i got one new united nations medal, miniature and ribbon bar.

United Nations

U.N.A.M.I.D.

(Sudan/Darfur 2006-Present):

A danish well known company of un medals, sent me a photo of the UNAMID medal they has received. The ribbon is entirely different from what was published in this topic.

Hope somebody will confirm this new ribbon.

Thanks to you

Elvis

That is quite attractive. What time period is it from?

Hi Rick Reserach,

i think it was from the years 1995 up to now.

It is difficult to get information about that.

But the items are looking beautiful.

Elvis
