Ed_Haynes Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks.And the colours of the cases, by the way, are not as different as they look in the photos. A nice rich claret for both.
Gordon Craig Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Ed,What you have is basically the same as the two bronze ones that I posted. A flat backed one with the hammer and torch in relief or a 1964 issue plus the dished silver type which is the 1985 issue. Both have the 1980s style pin on the ribbon so date from that era. I noticed that the document is dated 1988 for the dished type which is correct.Regards,GordonPS-If you want a copy of the Large Medals Book they are still available for around 9,000.00 to 10,000.00 Forints. We could pick you up one if are interested. Edited May 25, 2007 by Gordon Craig
Ed_Haynes Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks Gordon! I am learning. Slowly.A copy of the book (expertly translated) is, as they say in India, "just coming".
Ed_Haynes Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Just in hand, a nice cased (though the case has had a hard life) bronze medal with ribbon bar.
Ed_Haynes Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 And a separate card.You do have to wonder who he was and what his Germanic-sounding name was.
Gordon Craig Posted July 6, 2007 Author Posted July 6, 2007 Ed,Thanks for posting the pictures of the medal and the award document. Interesting name and date. Late in the life of the HUPRRegards,Gordon
jasmor58 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Extreemly interesting and informative posts on the Order of Labour. I have learned quite a bit from this. However, this may be an elementary question, but what was the criteria for the glod, silver and bronze awards?Jim Morrison.
