| By the way, I need help ID'ing many of these medals. As you probably know, Romanian medals are not well known in the USA. The WWII decorations may be but medals of earlier periods are not. |

1st type"1881-1932", Fredinand knig era.[/quote] Indeed first type, but this type was used between 1916 and 1941, not between 1881 and 1932. |

| Was this 1st type Michael the Brave awarded during WW2 or was the 2nd type in existance before the war started? |
| Posted by: Victor June 22, 2004 09:49 pm | ||
Yes, there were few 1916 models awarded during WWII also, in the initial stages. |

The first type badges of the Order of Michael the Brave were mainly used for WWI related awards up to the end of the 1930s. The second type badges were introduced in 1941, but it seems that before they were manufactured some of the WWII awardees received badges of the first type. |

| Are there records of who received what type? I would be interested to learn who was awarded these 1st types in the early 40s. |
| Posted by: Victor June 23, 2004 06:26 am |
| Major general Nicolae Dascalescu was the one awarded the 1916 version of teh 3rd class and Antonescu received the 2nd and 1st classes of the same model. In rest all other MV Orders were either 1941 or 1944 models.
This happened because the two were the first Romanians who received the order during WWII in August and September. The rest were awarded from 8 November (St. Michael Day) onwards, with King Mihai I receiving the first model 1941. |

| 1877 Danube Cross, WW1 medals, 1939 Centenial medal. A very old man ? |
| Posted by: Carol I July 27, 2004 06:05 am |
| The 1877 Danube Cross has the "Traditia" bar, indicating that the holder of this bar was the officer son of an officer serving in the 1877 war. |

| Posted by: REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR July 31, 2004 11:05 pm |
| "TRADITIA" medal bar. I have also seen this bar applied to the WW1 service cross. |
| Posted by: Carol I August 01, 2004 09:06 am | ||
Yes, as a recognition for the families with a long line of active officers, in a decree issued in 1939 it was specified that the Crossing of the Danube Cross and the Commemorative Cross of the 1916-1918 War can be inherited and worn by one of the descendants of the officer originally holding them, provided that he was also an active officer. These indirect awards were distinguished from the direct ones through the TRADIŢIE bar. |
