RobW Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) I don't have many vic medals but this one I really like. Hello Mel, A nice example. The greased wrapper paper appears to be in good condition as well. A good find. Be careful, as vics can become terribly addictive!

RobW Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 While we are on the subject of Belgian vics here are some pics of an unofficial type 2, by Riemer. The 'R' makers mark is clearly identifiable on the reverse, just below the central wreath. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilco Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Hi Gents - my latest acquisition - the Belgian Unofficial Type 2: Obverse Reverse The all-important R on the reverse. The planchet diameter is 37.2mm and thickness 2mm. The colour is bright brassy, and the strike is very shallow, with some of the lettering on the reverse almost vanished: The planchet is slightly 'squeezed' at around the 3 and 9 o'clock, and there are small triangular marks in these positions - the teeth of a gripper of some kind? The ribbon looks like a Czech make, and there is a hole on the obverse side with a faint mark around it that looks like there has been a linden leaf there at some time. Any comments welcome.

RobW Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hi Gents - my latest acquisition - the Belgian Unofficial Type 2: The planchet diameter is 37.2mm and thickness 2mm. The colour is bright brassy, and the strike is very shallow, with some of the lettering on the reverse almost vanished: Hello Bill, It is not unusual to see such shallow strikes where the detail is very low almost flat. The ribbon looks like a Czech make, and there is a hole on the obverse side with a faint mark around it that looks like there has been a linden leaf there at some time. While the Linden leaf attachments are generally seen on the War Cross they do appear on the Czechoslovak-Belgian vics as well. There was another example posted on the Czechoslovakia vic sub-thread. Any comments welcome. A nice unofficial type 2 (Riemer) example you have there Bill. They are becoming harder to obtain in good condition. This specimen certainly complements the other unofficial type 1 (Leisek) that you have. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
