    Milukas,

    This is some manner of Haile Selassie I presentation medalet which comes in 3 classes - gilt, silver and bronze. There should be a 935 silver mark on it which indicates the purity of the silver and to my mind its European origin - the pin or 'epingle' may indicate French origin. To date I have been unable to ascertain is true purpose. The case should have the same monogram upon it. The ribbon is correct. If it is for sale  please let me know.

    Kind regards,

    Owain

    Hiya,

     

    Found this.

    If you look at the ribbons of the above militaria-agent.com photo you will notice 2 different ribbons, which suggests there is also a silver medal (2nd. class ??).

     

    This info found in 10 minutes of googling using google images 😁

     

    Regards, Marcon1.

    Antonio,

    Thanks - have you any documentation confirming the attribution as Military Academy?

    There is a medal for the Genet Military Academy which was opened in 1934 and the Harar Military Academy which as opened in 1958 has at least two medallions.

    Kind regards,

    Owain
