    Dear Gentlemen,

     

    The Order of the Union of Myanmar is the highest civilian decoration bestowed by the government of Myanmar (also known as Burma). The order was founded on 2 September 1948 as a replacement for the British Order of Burma.

     

    This is a type I:

    Dear heusy68,

     

    "Hello Gentlemen,

     

    Unfortunately this piece is not in my collection,but in the collection of a friend.

     

    It is Order of the Union of Burma neck badge (2nd class).It is in gold and reverse is plain (except a rivet).That Order of Union of Burma was awarded to a minister of the ex-communist countries in the 50ies.

     

    It's the onliest I had the chance to have in hand,actually its size is more or less comparable to a C.I.E. (Companion of the Indian Empire).

     

    Emmanuel"

     

    Here, သင်္ဂဟ၊ ဘွဲ့၊ တံဆိပ်၊ - ဝီကီပီးဒီးယား , you can see the same medal, the enamel is damadge at the same spot, it says its a 3rd class / Commander:

    And this should be written on the reverse of the medal:
