Lambert Hello Lambert and Paul, It took me over 20 years of collecting vics before I found and managed to obtain a Brazil type 1 with the rim markings. Aside from the Portugal official type 1 I consider the Brazil vic type 1 the rarest of the regular issues. Having said that some of the unofficial strikes are also particularly rare. With the passage of time the scarcity is only likely to increase although I remain hopeful, that with the reach of the internet, more examples will appear from Brazil. Regards, Rob
lambert Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Hello Rob, Thanks for commenting. Best regards Lambert
Bilco Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Well, I've bin an' gorn an' dun it! Liverpool Medals latest list had a Brazil Official Type 2 featured on it so, after careful scrutiny of the photos, I bought it! Here are the photos for you Gents to check over and give your expert opinions: Obverse ... ... and close-up ... ... and reverse ... ... and close-up As far as I can see the medal exhibits the features of the genuine article: it's yellowish tone; obverse has feathers in the wings indistinct, leaves in the wreath flattish with central vein, initials J S at the bottom of the ray at the 7 o'clock; reverse has sharply defined national arms, flat leaves in the wreath, distinct letters especially the G, and the proper diacritical marks on the C and A of Civilisacao. There are traces of guilding around the figure on the obverse. The pin for attachment to the jacket is of a type I haven't seen before. Of course, these medals aren't cheap, but the asking price compared well with other examples I've seen offered recently. I won't have any pennies left in the medal fund for a while. Gentlemen, I await your verdict. Bill Edited September 21, 2016 by Bilco mis-spelling
lambert Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Hello Bil! Congratulations, it's a very beautiful example of MV Brazil, with support brooch. It is not common to see this brooch, but it is authentic .. I have seen in Brazilian medals early twentieth century .. Best Regards Lambert Edited September 23, 2016 by lambert

Bilco Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Many thanks Lambert & Rob for your confidence-building comments. Given the current exchange rate, this buy is looking even better against the ones I'd been watching priced in dollars!
paul wood Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Well done Bill a nice example of a hard to obtain piece. Paul

macchianera72 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Gentlemen of the Club, Hi Lambert, I would like to have your opinion about this medal from Brazil. Thank's Claudio. (Macchianera72)
Bilco Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Claudio, It looks good to me. Did you get it from Mercado Livre? Bill
macchianera72 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Bill, thank you for your opinion, Yes, i got it from "Mercado Livre" Claudio
Bilco Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Claudio, Congratulations - a nice piece at a very nice price! Bill
lambert Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Hello Claudio. Excellent !!! Yes, it is a great example of Vic Brazil .. I am glad many members get their medal. Lambert
davidck Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Any opinions on this one from eMedals? If genuine, maybe I'll forfeit all my Christmas presents next December. https://www.emedals.com/a-first-war-brazilian-victory-medal-con-41 Edited January 31, 2017 by davidck
lambert Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Hi David. Yeah, it's okay. But I find the price very high. Lambert
davidck Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 It seems like the few times I've seen one, it's been about that price. What would you say is typical?

Hi David. It's hard to know the "right" price, I would say around $ 1500. But this is very irregular. Lambert
sumserbrown Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 If anyone sees a Brazilian Victory medal for $1500 you should buy it immediately (or tell me where you saw it and I will buy it). That would be a bargain price as far as I am concerned. Over here in Europe you would be lucky to find one anywhere for the less than the equivalent of $2500 best wishes Rob
davidck Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Gah, that was a Type 1 going for less than $1000 US, and someone beat me to it while I was trying to find a workaround for not having a Brazilian address to ship to.
