Ok so I just bought this little beauty for a mere $9.99 and I thought I'd share...

Now I hope the pictures are good enough for you to see one very special person wearing some VERY special medals/orders...

I hadn't noticed until my brother pointed it out, so I'll let you guys suffer for a while.

Anyway here they are and if anybody knows anybody or anything in the pictures please share.

Are they even Bulgarian?

Cheers and let me know if you want any closeups.

According to one of my staff this is in Geez not Amharic and is a certificate in the name of Halie Selassie awarding the Order of the Star Knight (5th class) to a Captain Costa Ulseevich (Transliteraion?) & issued by the Defence Ministry

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for this info..

This confirms that this doc. was awarded to the same man, KOSTA JELICIC, as this (190335250524)document for a Dutch order of oranje-nassau.

I would haved loved to keep these together especially since I am dutch....

Silly silly silly...

Ulsterman, how many more docs were in this group? I can't seem to find the listings anymore.

Item numbers for ref. ethiopian doc.170383218624 Dutch doc.190335250524

cheers

Darn right you got that for a song! I was the other bidder.

I am still unsure if that is really the God Emperors' signature as well.

Did you see the other documents in the lot?

That was quite a diplomatic career the Czech Gentleman had-AND he was a partisan to boot!

I sent the seller an email asking if this was from the same guy but I never got an answer...

It always bugs me breaking up groups. I've contacted an online translation service and perhaps they

'll be able to figure this out.

JC

ps.Did you win the other docs? If so, I think they should be reunited.

So I recently picked up this Ethiopian award doc for a song.

It has nothing to do with my collecting field, not even close, but it looked nice and so i couldn't resist.

The only thing I can make out is the date 1941,I guess that's 1948 for us.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers

Is the last one on the fourth row perhaps an Iraqi order of al-rafidan??

cheers

JC

So last night I came across this nice looking Taeguk breast star with a buy it now of $1500....

I'm thinking that's not a bad price since Najaf has one for $9000 and I think emedals has a fake 3rd class for sale at $1350...

It was late and I wanted to go to bed so I sent the seller a quick qustion about the size of the thing and in the morning it had sold....

The question is did somebody get a real bargain and am I an idiot for not clicking the buy it now option ASAP...

Anyway, just one of those things...

Did anyone find out about the document with the "sloppy" handwriting in this thread ? Post 95

another similar doc with very close number is now out on ebay

could they both be fakes ? The number seems rather high for an old awarded Khalkin Gol

Ebay 250490933369

Regards christer

I emailed the seller, giving him a piece of my mind......I'm bein gvery polite....

Yes it's a fake and a bad one at that... I have a fake doc with the same serial number.... You think he would change that...

There is a thread on fakes where we covered this person and his fakes....

Avoid at all costs...

something interesting on eBay...

Very interesting....not sure what to make of it really.....

What makes me worry is the sellers questionable past both on ebay and on this forum....
