Two cavaliers of two "foundations"

Another navy "visit"

On the other side firebrigade badges and some kind police badge!

That`s an interesting "chest" Expo 75 medal (http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/55602-muroran-city-merit-badge/page-2) + red cross order + two different replicas of GEAW medal

Two additional photos of cavaliers

Another sacrifice to this 19th century glass fronted medal cabinet!

Personally I like this part of description "with 92 rough cut diamonds or paste stones"

Actually it's very unfortunate that we don't have photo of reverse

Perfectly ok Lenin that was made by Moscow mint somewhere between February and December of 1972.

+ Rarity with very interesting central medallion

Reverse Makers plate

Decumbent (and more peaceful)

A couple of persian lions Standing (and quite angry)

Since this is navy badge - it should be worn under right pocket (or simply lower right part of uniform). But you are right about photos - no evidence in sight I suspect that this badge was cancelled somewhere around 20s ...
