    Group of Six Civil Miniatures - One Unknown


    Recommended Posts

    Posted

    Gentlemen,

    I have recently obtained this group of nice miniatures.

    Can anyone identify the last/sixth award?

    The combination of life raft suspension and red cross device  may indicate some manner of life saving award.

    The other awards are as follows:

     

    1. Societes de Secours Mutuels  / Ministere du Travail et de la Prevoyance Sociale Republique Francaise
    2. Academie Devoument National
    3. Societe National Devoument et Progres
    4. Societe Republicaine d'Encouragement au Devoument 
    5. Republique Francaise / Medaille du Bien Public
    6. Unknown

     

    Many thanks

    Owain

    It looks like Spain Red Cross decoration, however it is odd with all french decorations, therefore it could be similar french red Cross Decoration as the Spanish one Most of the Spanish  red Cross decorations have the typical for the Period crown on top

    Given other awards preceding our unknown, perhaps represents a private society [as opposed to a national] decoration.  Life ring suspension looks similar to several French regional life-saving awards and the Ottoman Donanma Lane of 1912 [acknowledging Navy development contributions both intrinsic & financial].
