peter monahan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 whats's the difference between upper badge and lower badge? Yed The picture of St. Michael is the obverse [front] of the medal while St. George on his horse slaying the dragon is the reverse side. Lovely photos, by the way.

drclaw Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yed, thanks for the lovely photos. As Paul mentions, that First Type First Class First Grade Double Dragon is superb. It appears from the photo to be completely gold with no enamel work. Would I be correct in saying that? It is probably one of only a handful in the world, certainly the only one I know of. Note the large pearl (the Second and Third Grade were coral stones). That little gold badge could well be worth as much as the rest of the collection put together.
