VC89 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 These pins just arriverd with some other medals but I can't identify all of them. Hopefully someone can help (or correct) me. First line:Order of Leopold I (civil, Knight)Order of Leopold II (Knight), Commemorative Medal of the War 14-18 and (not sure) Civil Decoration 14-18 (unknown class).Unknown Second line:Order of Leopold I (civil, Grand Cordon) and Order of Leopold II (Grand Cross). I'm not sure if it is a silver or gold bar under the cockade so it can be a Commander in both orders.Civil Decoration for Long Service in the Administration (gold medal)I think this one has too many possibilities. Third line:Probably a pin from a POW federationWar Invalide Pin (FNI, Fédération Nationale des Invalides)Fire Cross with FNI pin
Jef Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 hello VC, That unknown one might be the War Cross WWII. Jef
VC89 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 It crossed my mind but the WWII War Cros has three stripes on each side and this buttonhole pin has only two.
Jef Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 It crossed my mind but the WWII War Cros has three stripes on each side and this buttonhole pin has only two. I agree, I missed a stripe too.But, it might got lost during manufacturing. A buttonholepin is a small thing. Maybe the outer stripe was cut away??.... Or it's another medal. Kind regards, Jef
