Rare book about brazilian orders and decorations...

[ricky1972]

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

Hi Ricardo

Any 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
