ricky1972 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Hi all,This time I?ll present a book - a book even rarer than some imperial medals.Written in 1943 by L. Marques Poliano, this book had only 500 copies made - You can find pictures, laws, lists and numbers and even "blue prints" of brazilian orders until 1943.I found this one (autographed with a dedication note) in a aucion house here in Sao Paulo last year. It was expensive, but this one is a must have for brazilian medals collectors.Hope you like it!Ricky
Ulsterman Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Great book!Any numbers on the award of the Order of the Rose?Numbers on the Paraguayan or Uruguayan campaign medals?

Yankee Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 ........Hi RicardoAny possibility that you can scan a picture of the Imperial Southern Cross badges from your book. Very interested to see, there are two types of suspensions for the lower grades. Thanks
