Obergefreiter Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Today I bought the cross on the left from a guy on WAF. What can you folks tell me about these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ethiopian Star of Victory 1941. It was issued to commemorate victory over the Italians and the restoration of sovereignty in 1941 by patriotic Ethiopian, British and Commonwealth troops who liberated the country, enabling Emperor Haile Selassie to re-enter Addis Ababa in triumph on 5 May.

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 And the ribbons are 10 times rarer than the medals!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yup, what are the sizes? They look shiny...like "prinzen" sized versions worn by some court officials and imperial Guard officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obergefreiter Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 I can't speak for the one I didn't buy, but the "star" is a normal sized medal. Truth is, I'd hate to get hit in the face with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
