Italy - query about unknown medals
Corabia Alex replied to Corabia Alex's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Well thank you very much Jim! Hope the cross is just as easy to identify, as it`s the only one I`m actually interested in getting. All the best from Timisoara, Alex -
Italy - query about unknown medals
Corabia Alex replied to Corabia Alex's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
And last but not least: any Italian presence in Libia before WW2 ?! Any info on the three pieces will be much appreciated. Are any of them interesting, or just common items ? -
Italy - query about unknown medals
Corabia Alex replied to Corabia Alex's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Second: 15mm in diameter veterans association pin. Looks like someone put some nail polish on it. Or maybe it`s some modern low quality repro ? I believe this to be related to scouts, due to the stamping on the back of it. -
Hello gents, Not wanting to start a new thread, I`ll also publish a few unknown (to me) Italian items. First up, a cross. It has been suggested to me that it`s related to "The Guardia Finanzia's Long Service Cross". Possibly silver?

Serbia Serbia - rare medal for bravery
Corabia Alex replied to orden_master's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Hey guys, I think making the effort to crop some pics would really be worth it, and also be very good for reference ! The links you have posted are long gone by now and, for someone totality outside the subject such as myself, it`s really hard to understand what the thread is about. The reason I`m posting is this prince Milos I "Cneaz" medal for Bravery. It's been put up for sale here in Romania on Thursday, but has went off the auction by today, so no chance to get it any more. Now.. following this thread let me do believe that it could be a fake, and unfortunately http://www.orden.stojanovic.ch/ did not help much. The seller claimed it is silver. -
Romania The Romanian Securitate
Corabia Alex replied to Greg Collins's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Some details of them: max length of "ensemble" 28-29cm; handcuff dimensions: 8.5/9/2.5cm; in-between handcuffs: 10.5cm. Screwing the key would unlock the handcuff, unscrewing it will lock it. And another reference that I found: -
Romania The Romanian Securitate
Corabia Alex replied to Greg Collins's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Hello again, Some may call this unrelated,but I believe these handcuffs to have been also used on the politically based jailed persons, and there for on the topic of the thread. Any information on them ? I have never researched handcuffs before. -
Sorry about that; I was used to the old GMIC format, where you could upload photos. This "create album - make it public" is a little too complicated in my opinion. Mine has two stamping on the ear and one on the ring , I suppose for silver marking; second class maybe ? So, the one with trifolded ribbon is just as yours, third class? Any idea where I could get a decent piece of ribbon ? Alex (Corabia is the Danube crossing point of the Romanian Army in 1877 & 1913).

POST-WII MILITARY ACADEMY MEDAL PICTURE ?
Corabia Alex replied to Corabia Alex's topic in United States of America
Well thank you very much! I see the ribbon is the same, but the .pdf file shows only one side of the medal, and the one here has two soldiers going in opposite directions. Do you think it`s a mismatch of ribbon+medal? -
Bulgaria Bulgarian Order of 9 September 1944
Corabia Alex replied to a topic in Central & Eastern European States
Good evening, I`m having trouble identifying the last ribbon on this Romanian medal bar. I`m thinking about the Bulgarian Order of 9 September 1944, but what about the gold stripes ?! -

These pics were found at a trade in Deva, Romania; but the dealer was from Bucharest. I assume the emigrants were Romanians of Hungarian ethnicity. -

Good evening, After looking at a few topics and searching for the keywords in the title, I've decided to ask for an opinion: can anyone identify what this man is wearing?
