Hello all yes I fully understand all the points the information I have listed comes from the the official record book of OG III issues up to 31.12.1945. This book shows to what front, army, region, district each OG III was issued to for awarding form number 01 to 530.200, the file contains 67 pages In regards to reference in point 5 of all the OG III issued up to 31.12.1945 the 3,828 this is the balance of awards not actually awarded and carried over to the second volume record book starting 01.01.1946 to which almost another 500k would be added I have attached a page from the official book (scan copy of course) regards

Not sure if anyone will find this interesting or not, but thought I would share some info about the OG III which I find interesting total OG III issued to fronts, units etc for awarding as 31.12.1945 - 503.240 highest number produced as 31.12.1945 - 530.200 last 3 OG III issued on 31.12.1945 - 517.643, 517.644, 82.234 total number of OG III issued / awarded as 31.12.1945 - 499.412 balance of OG III not awarded / issued as 31.12.1945 - 3,828 regards

Hi Peter thanks for that, first time I have seen such a "rank" kind regards Caz

in regards to the first star I can confirm 3rd class I will try and post a reverse of the second class when I have scanned it in regards to the star with the gilded center this was never issued officially, as all stars carried the same centers which where enameled or coloured never plain, the difference is the wording on the back 1st class is very hard to find, 3rd class is easier, 2nd also not common I am lucky enough to have 7 x 3rd class and 2 x 2nd class in my collection and there is sight variations between some of them hope this helps regards

Hello everyone thank you for the feedback, I have another one for you all rank - "BARB" would this be barber? pic attached and thank you in advance regards Caz

would you believe i found them at a street vendor around the Silom area amongst coins and medalions was a very lucky find, total cost was 4, 000 Bhat
