Hauptmann Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Dan - Very nice - you scored a very rare and complete 1969 version. This one is the only one I have seen cased and complete. Hi Charles, Many thanks my friend! I was hoping this was still the case as when I read through the "big" thread I believe that was the comment you'd made back then as well. I know Gordon showed one of the 1959's as a cased set but no 69's. Hoping against hope for the 59 now. Will post it if I get it. And again many congratulations on your book! I can't wait to get a copy!!!! Dan
cimbineus Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Gents, Tomorrow, 23rd October is the Hungarian National Day. We celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Revolution of 1956. To mark this day I decided to share with you an arty picture taken from an extremely rare Hungarian order from 1947. (There were 16 awards made only!) cimbineus Edited October 22, 2009 by cimbineus
Hauptmann Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Hi all, I finally have a few minutes to post again. My 1959 cased set. Pics are Zsolt's and used with his kind permission. Edited November 16, 2009 by Hauptman
Hauptmann Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 In this shot complete with the miniature:
Hauptmann Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 And a full size document for a 1959... I'll let Charles elaborate on this one: Dan
Gordon Craig Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Dan, The International Tourist Year tab;e medal is interesting. It appears to be in a Hungarian type of case but it is a French medal. Can you post the top and bottom of the case please. Regards, Gordon

Regards, Gordon Hi Gordon, Will be happy to but will have to wait till they arrive. Hoping it won't be more than another week or so. Soon as they get here I'll do pics and pop them up. Thanks! Dan
hunyadi Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 As always - neat stuff! The most interesting, just becasue it is not so commonly encountered is the formal document for the 1959 medal commemorating the 40th annaversary of the ill fated 1919 Hungarian Soviet Rupublic. Have not encountered too many of the formal documents and the signatures are probably autopen variety - but what makes this more interesting is that it was awarded to a woman. Her name is also interesting - "Marischka, Zoltanak" - or the wife of Zoltan Marischka. Very slav last name. Anyhow - rare document to begin with and men get more medals than women even in the "utopian societies" so its a rare"er" bird... :jumping:

Can you post the top and bottom of the case please. Regards, Gordon Hi Gordon, Sorry it's taken me so long to get to this. I got these in about a week ago but have been up to my ears between work, travel, etc. Also many thanks for your help re: those DDR bars. Here's some pics of the case. I just did them with my digital camera but let me know if you need scans. I've included an extra just to show that it looks redder with flash than without. Anyhow hope these help solve the mystery. Dan
Gordon Craig Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Dan, No doubt it is a Hungarian case. Thanks for the photos. Regards, Gordon
cimbineus Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 The Hungarian MOTHERHOOD ORDERS and MEDALS: Giving birth to 6 to 11 children. .
Gordon Craig Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 cimbinius, Great photos of some rare medals. Would you please post a picture of the interior of the boxes. I have one colour but not the other. Were there boxes in different colours for each of these medals? If so, can you please tell me which colour box went with which medal. Regards, Gordon

Regards, Gordon Gordon, Thanks for your kind words. To my best knowledge, yes, there were both types of boxes for both, the Order and the Medal too. As requested, here is one box: cimbineus .
Hauptmann Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 My latest... took forty one days to arrive from Hungary! But thanking God that they finally arrived safe and sound. I'll have to dig out my scanner and do some scans of the badges front and back. It's a very nice set. Now I need this one to add to the set: Dan
Ulsterman Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Nice Brigade badges- 1970s? That mothers' medal is really rare isn't it?
hunyadi Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Mothers Medals - yes very rare - Esp the higher ones. The Brigad badges are from the 1970's
