922F Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 it hasn't sent yet because still wait from my side to get some Indonesian medal for trade.. i'll post photo again later when it's arrived Very nice set--great acquisition!! The grand cross sash seems to be harder to find than the badge. Is the trade for 2 badges & a star or 1 badge & star? [i ask because the badge without the sash has a suspension loop seen on commander badges and the one on the sash has a typical double ring sash badge suspension. Usually the grand cross and the commander badges are the same size.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapten_windu Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 i traded 3 neck star+1 medal from Indonesia to get this, and i think it's a good deal.. Oops, i think the picture on the first picture is wrong uploaded picture! As i said, i'll post the picture again when this order arrived.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambert Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Medal of Paraguay "Orden Nacional Del Merit grade Commander, established in 1865 by Marshal Francisco Solano López. Originally the order was for military purposes, but was revised in 1939 and is now the highest order from Paraguay to military and civil merits. lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapten_windu Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Finally it's arrived!! but there's something strange, on the reverse of sash badge it stated ''PRAEMIUM MERITI'' while on the breast badge it stated "PRAEMIUN MERITI", how it can be different M and N? i found a picture on eBay, in there the breast badge also stated PRAEMIUN too, so how's this happen? Does the badge with PRAEMIUN is a jeweller's made? anyone can explain this phenomena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 A quick root through the archives only reveals the 'M' variant, on both stars and badges. Here is the reverse of a Commander's badge, in close-up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 And a Grand Cross badge, reverse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Grand Cross stars are harder to make out, but all appear to be 'M' too. Here's the clearest one: [Picture credits: eMedals & Liverpool Medals] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Aside from the lettering, what I'm wondering about is why the lion's heads are so different - in Windu's it's roaring, but in the others the mouth is closed. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Here's another example that was posted on the OMSA forum, with yet another example of the lion's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapten_windu Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks Megan and Harvey for the picture.. Yesterday in eBay i found the breast star as same as mine (with PRAEMIUN letter too) was for sale at buy now:$600, but now i can't find it! Well, so let say, is it a defect product? A fake? A copy? Or what? Windu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
