      Bison, Thank you for your great help. I have found an interesting book, which is available online, maybe it will useful to someone:" Histoire générale des ordres de chevalerie, civils et militaires, existant en Europe ; Empire français ; Légion d'honneur" from 1811, by Nicolas Viton de Saint Allais https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_L04MAQAAMAAJ Regards, Balazs

      I am a beginner in collecting Legion of Honor. I found some books about this order, but I do not know which is the best source if I would like to learn about the types, maufacturers and characteristics of the award. Which is the for a collector? Can you please give me some advise? Thanks, Balazs

      Of course:-). Unfortunately not the best photos. I have posted it in a topic on medals.extra.hu, but the forum doesn't work now, so I can't be able the insert the link now.

      It looks like as a funeral piece, I have a FJO knight's cross which manufacture is similar to it.

      Thanks Bill for the information. I thought that the colour of the lining is helpful for dating a tunic. The red silk lining is a very interesting info. Balazs

      Hi Bill, Thanks for your help. It is a great info, I am not worried about the button in the future. As I see, the inside is grey on the later tunics probably from the 60s, before it was blue? Could it be another crucial point on dating a tunic? Balazs

      Hi Bill, Thanks for your help and fo the links! I thought I have to be aware with the bottom button, because it can be easily change to a standard button. What do you think it frequent? Yes, it has the belt, it is hanging from the back side. I am before the purchase now but I would like to be sure that it is an early post war uniform. Thanks, Balazs

      The belt is sewn on, fixed to the back of the tunic, the tunic has Kings Crowns buttons, the inside is made of blue silk. The inside of the trousers is white.

      What do you think, is it possible that this RAF uniform is from the early post WW2 era (1950s) or a later manufacture? Thanks for help. Regards, Balazs

      Thanks! I hope it too. What do you think is it possible that the MID is equivalent to the V-device on various US awards?

      Thanks for your help! I thought the CB-CBE pair is possible for the top row because both ribbon has the same width. The 2 MID's and The Africa Star with the 8th Army attachment could help to find the original owner, but my search wasn't successful, although I haven't got any access to regiment or other histories which can help... Thanks, Balazs

      What do you think is there any possibility to attach a name to the tunic? Unfortunately the taylor's label is missing. I tried to put a name to it but I haven't got any access to databases, books which could help. I thought CB, CBE, and the North Africa Star with the No. 8 attachment could help. Thanks, Balazs

      Shams, Thanks for your great help! Regards, Balazs

      James, Thanks for your help! The first two ribbons are 38 mms wide, both wider than the others. Unfortunately I haven't got information about the original owner, but I hope I can narrow down the search. Cheers, Balazs

      Thanks for your great help. Regards, Balazs

      Shams, Thanks for your help. I haven't got any idea about of which division or arm is from. Regards, Balazs

      Is there any possibility to tell the age of this epaulette? Thanks, Balazs

      Clive, Lukasz, Thank you for your great help and for the link of the database, I am starting the search. Hopefully I can find something. This is a great and enjoyable task I like these puzzles. Thare is also a possibility for this ribbon bar is not the last one so it can be an intermeditae stage. I have checked the tunic, there is no hole for a star on the pocket. Thanks, Balazs

      Hi Christophe, In my opinion the wreath was a widely used universal attachment for MVM and MVK3KD too. There were several other methods to denote which medal is it. There were cheaper methods like this one and expensive ones, for example the embroidered wreathes and miniatures. Regards, Balazs

      The ribbon with the laurel wreath can be a bronze Signum Laudis Medal (Military Merit Medal) too. Before the Bulgarian commemorative medal there is a Hungarian WW1 commemorative medal for combattants. Regards, Balazs

      It was my first opinion (CB-OBE), but Lukasz has an opinion that the two order needs to be the similar grade. I read previously somewhere that the GCBE-KCBE ribbons are 45 mms wide, the CBE-OBE ribbons are 38 mms and the MBE ribbons are 32 mms wide. Is it correct, has any importance of the width of the ribbon? Thanks, Balazs
    24. bazsi
      Thanks for your help! So the CB-OBE doesn't work, it is at least CB-CBE. Unfortunately the tailor's label has been removed from the tunic, there is no name in it. I have tried a brief search but I haven't got any access to databases so I used only the list of the Wikipedia. Are there any public databases or other information resources where I can search for the name? Thanks, Balazs

      Gents, This ribbon bar is on a uniform of a Major General. The first two ribbons are CB and CBE or CB and OBE? What do you think? These are 38 mms wide. Thanks, Balazs
