TacHel Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Took a chance on this little baby... Can anybody confirm its authenticity? Commemorative Medal of the 75th Anniversary of the Telegraph Services
paul wood Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Francois, Can't see anything wrong with it. Paul
Hendrik Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Perfectly fine ... Commemorative Medal of the 75th Anniversary of the Telegraph Services This enameled cross was created on 20 October 1921 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first telegraph line exploitation in Belgium, on 9 September 1846. It was awarded to employees and workmen of the Belgian Telephone and Telegraph Services who had completed, on 9 September 1921, 25 years of good and loyal service.
TacHel Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Here's a stupid question... Is it mounted backwards? Should the crown and lightning bolts be the obverse?
Hendrik Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Nope. The obverse shows the royal cypher "A" for Albert I. Regards, Hendrik
TacHel Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Thanks... Same for the 50th anniversary of the railroads? Royal cypher on obverse?
Hendrik Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Yes indeed, intertwined L's for Leopold II. Regards, Hendrik
