Nice one

 

P.S. Gilded silver? 

Yes, the badge is made of gilded silver in 1928.

One more badge

Hello John,

It’s really most amazing story of Otto Wieprich. I think it could make a nice article in the magazine that I publish here in Moscow. It’s a monthly with emphasis on faleristics, both research and collecting, and it receives quite favorable reference from Russian readers who tell us it’s the leading magazine on collecting in Russia. It’s published under patronage of the Russian Ministry of Culture, the name is ANTIQUES. ITEMS OF ART & COLLECTIBLES, and its site www.antik.ru.

What do you think? We could use your posts as the base for the text. Could you send me photos of the items described, big enough to be published in a magazine? I am sure the history behind the group will be of great interest for many people here. Certainly I will send you copies of the magazine with the article.

Looking forward to your reply.

All the best,

Igor

Silver, Maker's Mark (something like JSo?), numbered (938). Thanks in advance

I think it is not a badge. It's a first type of Red Banner Order which existed before 1926. :rolleyes:

I got very interesting unusual medal bar.Is it possible to identify who was the Person? Please, help with name of hero.

Ed,I think it is a fake . You can see on Ebay many papers like yours.

Hello,

a friend of mine has this badge, but I cannot understand when was it distributed. The motto on the Red Banner means "Liberty or Death" and the text below means something related to merits etc. towards the Makedonian Motherland. The other words, "...КЪМЪ ПОРОБЕНАТА..." sound not Russian to me (Bulgarian? Serbian?); the abbreviation "ВМРО" sounds also unknown to me.

The fastening is the typical screwback with circular nut.

Any idea about date and a possible identification?

You can find some information about VMRO here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMRO and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uj-LMAFXKQ...feature=related

A Silver&enamel badge, jubilee (75 years??, Serbia...?( He comes with a serbia medal bar I bough more that 10 years ago...), The spange is for undestand their relative size

Russian. Technological Institute in St. Petersburg.

I think it is not numbered , may be it's year (1936) . And letters M.H.P.(Монгольская Народная Республика) - Popular Republica Mongolia.

C 01 -- Army Pin

While this incredibly rare first-of-all Mongolian badges has been shown above

http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10218&st=24

this new specimen is in much better condition and has a (repaired?) screwback pin.

My five cents ..

This is a very, very rare badge, usualy described as "Faberge Made". The inscription reads ASSEMBLY OF BISHOPS (arhijerejski sabor) - ZA RATNO PASTIRSTVO (for war-time spiritual guidance). The only one I had seen so far was silver-gilt.

The years refer to the First and Second Balkan Wars.

Thank you for information,Dragomir . What do think is it for Serbian Military Chaplains or for Russian volonteers (Chaplains)?

Could you please illustrate the Hallmarks it would be interesting to see.

Paul

Great thanks for sharing ! Is it silver or not ?
