    Rare book about brazilian orders and decorations...


    Recommended Posts

    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!

    Hello,

    Yes. The book list some people awarded with the order. Not all, but the ones with higher ranks.

    Here?s some numbers:

    Pedro I (1829-1831) ------------------ Pedro II (1841-1889)

    Gr?o Cruz---------------------------7------------------------------157

    Grande Dignitario-----------------11-------------------------------73

    Dignitario--------------------------11------------------------------288

    Commendador--------------------27-----------------------------1572

    Oficial------------------------------14 ---------------------------- 4118

    Cavaleiro-------------------------119-----------------------------8937

    No info about Paragauay or Urugayan campaign medals :unsure: I would love to have this info too...

    Take a look on my other post about brazilian awards: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9570&st=20

    Cheers,
