    Dear Gents,

    Again I'm lost in the jungle of Belgian non-official medals. Is there anyone who can ID this medal?

    with kind regards,

    Jef

    Thank you, Roel. At first I thought about Mons, the capital of Hainault, but since I did'nt found any point of contact ( the shield shows a Flemish lion and there is no church in Mons dedicated to Saint Amandus) I also tried St-Amandsberg. I found the front of the medal is the heraldic shield of St-Amandsberg, a village which is part of Ghent. Yesterday I went to a military fair in Zillebeke ( like i told you) to see a friend who is policeman in Ghent. He confirmed the frontside of the medal is the heraldic sign of St-Amandsberg, but could'nt give any further details like colours ( blue/white) of the ribbon, or the reason why the medal was given. I was going to answer my own question this evening, but you where first. Again,thank you for your reaction.

    Jef
