Linasl Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hello All. I have what I believe is the Belgium Leopold II Croix Enfants de Troupe 1895 Assuming I am correct, as per the photos, I have no idea what it is for. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Linas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-sk Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hello, I do not know much about the cross. I am almost 100% sure that it is Belgian. I think you should contact the following Belgian phaleristic association for more accurate informations: "SKF-Studiekring Faleristiek VZW" (info@skf-vzw.org). Whereas for the ribbon, the one shown here is definitely the one worn with the Bayerisches Kriegs-Erinnerungskreuz 1914-1918 of the Bayerischer Kriegerbund (Bavarian war veterans association)... See attachments. Cheers, Jean-Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_deploige Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The ribon is not correct, it is a Bavarian ribbon the cross is Belgian: "Insigne des Enfants de Troupe de l'Ecole des Pupilles de l'Armée" the ribon is the same as the one for the Décoration Militaire Art 4 with a tricole rosette the first insigna's where made in 1895 this is not an official décoration, it was from the association of the Enfants de Troupe de l'Ecole des Pupilles de l'Armée this cross were made by FISCH & Cie BRUXELLES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-sk Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) While talking about the Order of Leopold, does anyone of you know a medal dealer who sells an "Officier de l'Ordre de Léopold" (in gilding metal and rosette on the ribbon) with the special "A" palm on the ribbon? Thanks for letting me know. Cheers, J-S Karlen. Edited October 30, 2013 by j-sk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
