Manevrele Medals

Does anyone know or have information concerning "Manevrele" medals ? Who was awarded these medals ? How many different kinds exist ? How are they worn and on what ribbons ? I have not seen any examples on any medal bars.

Medal #1:

Medal #2:
"IN AMINTIREA MANEVRELOR REGALE ROMANE PLOESTI SEPTEMBRE 1906"

Medal #3:

Another one, for the royal maneuvers in 1893 (from www.vicmart.com):

Looking closely at the date on this medal I think it is 1895 and not 1893.

This agrees with the dates quoted in Krupensky (1) who states that the manouvers in the autumn of 1894, & in September of 1895 by Army Corp I & II, were commemorated by the striking of commercially available medals. The only difference in the two medals being the dates.

Army manouvers in 1898 were also commemorated by a medal according to Groner (2).

Buzdugan & Niculita (3) also quote a medal was struck in 1911 for the army manouvers of that year. I have an example of this medal in my collection but it is in poor condition.

You mean this one?

Yes, that is the one.

Thank you for posting the image. The medal is in better condition than mine.
