It has a beret " Traditie" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...2290786934&rd=1 This post has been edited by Claudiu1988 on December 03, 2004 07:50 am

This one looks to have been made at the time the brevet was issued in 1910 and I have seen them also made and issued in the 1930's. The type of metal used, and the suspension ring at the top of the medal will indicate if it is a restrike or later made piece.

The same situation is met today in the case of "Crucea de rezistenta anticomunista" medal. HONOR ET PATRIA Ml. B.

The "traditie" stripe is granted when the holder of the medal was not a participant but a direct relative of him.

The descendant should also have been an active officer on the date of the award.
