Hi everybody. I have an austro-hungarian bronze medal " The Crown Jubilee Medal of 1898" celebrating 50 years since Franz Josef started ruling Austro-Hungaria. You can see it here:www.medal-medaille.com/index.php?cPath=31
I was wondering if you have any idea where i could find a ribbon for it. |

I made a mistake, I don't need a ribbon for the "The Crown Jubilee Medal of 1898". I need a ribbon for the one in the picture "Jubilee Cross 1908".
If you find it I will buy it, thabks for the help |

There was a guy selling reproduction Austrian K.u.K period Ribbons
in Brasov last year at the Collectors Day, I will be there on the 19th July and will see if he has any. They are not so expensive, but of a slightly thicker material than the original. But they look good for displays. Kevin in Deva. ![]() |

New Connaught Ranger: I am sorry, but you are wrong... Both medals you have are civil issues.. Only the red ribbon there is incorrect.. should be white-red ribbon too....
![]() Claudiu1988: If you want a copy ribbon, it is much cheaper if you buy it in Romania, only postal costs from Slovakia to Romania will be higher as the price of copy.... If you want original, wait one day, tomorrow I will get photo of that ribbon and U can write if you want it or not... ![]() |

Hallo Iver, ![]() please post pictures showing the difference between the Civil Medal and the Military Medal. ![]() The Jubilee Medal for the 50th Anniversary of the Kaiser's reign (1848-1898), commonly called the "Signum Memoriae" medal. For military personnel it is all red. The civil version is half red / half white. Kevin in Deva. ![]() |

New Connaught Ranger: The colour of the ribbon is not the only difference between civil and miltary version...
It is THE TEXT ON FRONT SIDE OF MEDAL!!! Civil: FRANC.IOS.I.D.G.IMP.AVST.REX BOH.ETC.ET REX AP.HVNG Military: FRANC.IOS.I.D.G.IMP.AVSTR.REX.BOH.ETC.AC.AP.REX.HVNG See the difference? ![]() You have two civil medals... This post has been edited by Iver on July 15, 2008 01:43 pm |

I need to see pictures of this, difference, as I can find no reference to it anywhere or in my books. And you are contradicting information that has been written about these medals.
But, I do know, that the K.u.K Austro-Hungarian Empire utilized the same exact same medals, but with different ribbons for more than one purpose. Kevin in Deva. ![]() |

Err..... there is no need to shout, I am not deaf, with the picture all is clear, I cannot understand how this difference has not been spotted / mentioned / talked about before. Can you give a translation of the Latin motto's being used and their meaning? Of course you know now I will have to start hunting for the military version ![]() More hard work for an old man ![]() However I do feel I have the right ribbons for the two medals a civil ribbon and a military ribbon Kevin in Deva, |

I wrote it with big letters, because i cant understand, why it wasnt in your books...
![]() Try this book: Koláčný, Ivan: Řády a vyznamenání Habsburské monarchie, Elka Press, Praha, 2006 It is in czech language, but with english, german, french and russian resume... I think it is no problem to get the military version, they are more common then civil... I have 3 free peaces if you want... ![]() It means (civil): Franc Josef I. Dei gratia rex imperator avstrie, rex bohemiae, etc. et apostolic rex hungarie - franc josph I., of gods will emperor of austria, king of bohemia (czech), etc. and apostolic king of hungary... on military its the same text, but using not word ET (and) but word AC. that means the same... |
