JohanH Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 Hello! Does it exist any records of how many of these medals that were awarded and to who? If I understand it right it was only awarded between 1912 and 1948? I am looking for the name of a Swedish recipient of the gold medal and I guess that there cannot be that many Swedes that received it.
JohanH Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 No one know anything about this medal? Here is the reason why I ask. I would like to ID the owner of this miniature bar. There are lists of both the Swedish North Star and the Stockholm Merit medal. So if there are several possibilities the Romanian medal is the key to ID the original owner.
Carol I Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 The medal was under the responsability of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce/Economy (it had different names at various times). Maybe they can cross-check names in their archives (I do not know though whether the medal has its own archive and if it has survived until now). The alternative would be to try to guess which of the possible recipients had connections with Romania.
Bayern Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Your Medalia meritul comercial si industrial is of the pattern instituted in 1912 (King Carol I ) and conceded until 1945. the Swedish recipient was probably a civilian involved with the Armament Industry
JohanH Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 Thank you both for your replies! I have started the work with going through the lists of recipients of the Stockholm medal and compiling the lists to one single list. Right now there are 66 different lists that I will compile into one searchable list. When I find a possible ID, I will post it here! 1
JohanH Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 A little update. I have received an answer from the National archives in Romania that they can't help me. No records of medal recipients exists. The good news is that I have finished the list of recipients of the Stockholm medal. Between the institution 1938 and 2009 there was a total of 9349 medals awarded.... Next step is to complete the list of North Star recipients and then cross reference both lists to find possible matches.
