Re: The New Gold Star Order
This is the traditional Danish style of suspension as seen by this 1844 designed award.
If a more historically and culturally appropriately accurate award is suspended around the neck on a fine piece of string so be it. We must remember that Viet Nam has been heavily corrupted by the French Empire as well as the Soviet Empire which is why for some reason they now use the Latin alphabet rather than a locally devised script such as the Kingdoms of Thailand and Cambodia.

Ed, maybe I'm wrong, but Denmark have been a major power in the Baltics region during the modern era, before the swedish then russian rising

Re: The History Of Suspension?
Well, to start to summarise and suggest:
Tsarist Russia: -- Didn't always use the pentagonal suspension (loose clustered ribbons, closer to comtemporary German states than anything else until ????). -- Use of the pentagonal suspension from ???? until the revolution (well, afterwards for the "White" pretenders). USSR: -- Rejection of all that Tsarist trash led to no suspensions and even a reluctant use of wearable (as opposed to useful) awards. -- The re-Tsarification of the Soviet Union in 1943 led to, among other things, the reintroduction of the pentagonal suspension. Russia: -- The self-destruction of the USSR in 1991 did not interrupt the use of the pentagonal suspension in Russia and in most of the Soviet successor states (I am sure someone who care more about them than I do will expand upon this).

Re: The History Of Suspension?
to add one piece to the debate, I checked my good old Hieronymussen's book, and they're onbly two countries in western europe to bear pentagonal suspensions... Denmark and Iceland (logical about this later).

Re: The History Of Suspension?
And for the "Soviet Bloc" (whatever the hell that means):
Used Soviet-style suspensions: Afghanistan Bulgaria (PR) China (very briefly) Kampuchea Korea (DPRK) Romania Vietnam Yemen Used close "Soviet-style" suspensions but with very different geometry: Albania Cuba Germany (Democratic Republic) (for some things only) Yugoslavia (a very mixed record here) Never used "Soviet-style" suspensions: Czechoslovakia Ethiopia Hungary Mongolia Poland A quick effort, corrections welcomed. I'm using the categories we have in the forum and this leaves many places out in the cold (e.g., Angola, Laos, etc.). Last edited by medals73; 01-08-2012 at 05:54 PM. |
