CNY Militaria Posted November 20, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2017 With enough time and resources it might be identifiable using the foreign awards. Beautiful lot though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I have to start by identifying what the foreign awards are, at the moment I don't have a clue on most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanus Posted November 20, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 20, 2017 Lets give the foreign ribbons a go: - ? - Officer in the Order of the Crown, Belgium - Italian Order 'Stella della Solidariteit Italiana. 1st class. - ? - Greek Order of the Phoenix, 4th class - Korean Ulchi with silver star - UN Korea medal A bit of a guess on the Italian one.

JBFloyd Posted November 20, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2017 The first ribbon on the bottom row could well be a Swedish Red Cross Medal. The Swedes had medical personnel in Korea and decorated a number of US medical officers. That would fit with the Phoenix and Ulchi as well.

dskjl Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted November 24, 2017 Here is what we think we have, this does make sense as i understand the rack did belong to a Doctor.: - Belgium order of Leopold - Officer in the Order of the Crown, Belgium - Italian Order 'Stella della Solidariteit Italiana. 1st class. - Swedish Red Cross Medal - Greek Order of the Phoenix, 4th class - Korean Ulchi with silver star - UN Korea medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4STARCHRIS Posted November 24, 2017 Share #13 Posted November 24, 2017 It is interesting that the ribbons have crowns instead of rosettes. I have only seen the different degrees of the same medal in rosettes. Very nice ribbon bar 4starchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice ribbon bar 4starchris I am not familiar enough to add much other than to say the crowns are very nicely done but it seems odd to me that a Greek and a Swedish ribbon would both have crowns on them. Thanks to all for you support and kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanus Posted November 24, 2017 Share #15 Posted November 24, 2017 The Belgium Order of Leopold is blue with a thick Black middle stripe. I think this ribbon represents a different unknown order. France Ordre National du Merit is blue but was instituted in the 60ties, so no option. A Crown on a ribbon indicates a different level of a medal/order, not necessarily the degree of Officer. Greece has this distinction. Sweden doesn't. So If the color of the first ribbon on the bottom row is correct I can't identify it. Quite a puzzle, even for us from Europe Cheers Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4STARCHRIS Posted November 25, 2017 Share #16 Posted November 25, 2017 Hermanus The ribbon you describe id Belgium order of Leopold II. The ribbon bar represents the Leopold I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanus Posted November 25, 2017 Share #17 Posted November 25, 2017 Hermanus The ribbon you describe id Belgium order of Leopold II. The ribbon bar represents the Leopold I. Sorry Chris, the Order of Leopold I doesn't exist, it's called the Order of Leopold. The colour of the ribbon is plain purple/pink.
