This is another set of photo, of another breast Grand Officer of the Legion of Merit of Rhodesia, that I had the opportunity to buy long time ago....but on the last stage, there was a mess up..., and I actually only kept the photo.

 

Regards to all.

And here is the Legion of Merit of Rhodesia Grand Officer breast star in my collection.

 

As you can see, the Great Zimbabwe Bird in its center, is in silver-gilt, and not in gold.

 

Believe me the reverse bear no hallmarks, and looks different, with a screwplate, a bit german style.

 

I was said that , as it is not marked SPECIMEN, it was then an original star, but not issued...., but I doubt, as the bird, as I said is not in gold, and reverse is very different. However I don't paid much....

 

Regards to all.

Hi Emmanuel, somehow i missed these posts showing the GCLM and GLM orders in their cases. Just wanted to say thank you, I have never seen the cases, or for that matter, the actual awards before......
