Can anybody identify this medal. I purchased it as a resistance related medal from Belgium. Is it a recognised org medal or something else.

Robert Maher

Can any member provide me with a description for this badge. All I know that it is from Latvia and is for a Partisan Brigade Badge  from the 1920's

I am a serious Resistance / Partisan Awards collector and student of the subject. I am in the process of creating a Web Site and would like to see an exchange of information.

I have a number of awards that were awarded to individuals who participated in a number of groups in more than one country. for example the Medal awarded to poles who were active in France. I have just obtained  a group awarded to a named Frenchman who also  appeared to be active in the Czech resistance as evidenced by his award of the Order of the White Lion. I also have a group awarded to a leader of a partisan group in Greece which included  the Yugoslavian Order of St. Andrew.

So my question is:

What other awards, badges that were awarded for Resistance/Partisan activities in more than one country.

Attempted to attach images but received this error message “Error you aren't permitted to upload this kind of file”. However here is a description of the three medals.

1 – The war medal WWII 1944-45 supposedly issued by the Czech gov in exile. It is a bronze medal suspended from a red ribbon it is a Hollow Laurel wreath bisected by a sword with the tip protruding from the bottom. A rampart lion is on the base of the Laurel wreath.

2 – The SLO medal is bronze suspended from a metal bar with the Slogan “SLO’ the medal has a Woman on the left with a slung weapon on the right shoulder. A “Farmer?” is in the medal with both hands holding a rifle horizontal across his body, to his left is another male figure holding a rifle vertical at the top is a Czech flag.

3 – Roh medal suspended from a red ribbon with twin vertical white stripes the suspension is a shell/fan. The medal depicts the Word (?) ROH on a banner which is central overlaying rays. The center is surrounded by the words “ZA PRACI PRO ROZVO(.) ROH”

Many apps for all the drama.

Thanks again and have an uncomplicated day

A VERY interesting Czech group of international medal documents just sold on ebay that might answer your question. Along with the mans' partisan badges (I have his bio. in the CIA's 1989 Warsaw Pact Who is Who book) were a slew of other documents. I believe the war medal you refer to is the one with the eagle and the yellow (mostly) ribbon? If so, he got hone. I do not know what an SIO and ROH medal is/are though.

Thanks. Can anybody tell a person [me] with 0 [zero] computer ability how to insert an image on a post.

Have an uncomplicated day
