I was mainly referring to time-scale 1960's-70's (although that is a period covering two decades). The Partisan Medal 1st Class allegedly produced by Begeers was also made of (plated) Tombac. If we can track down any of Dutch recipients of awards then it may be possible to find photographs of their awards which will be a large clue as to whether they conform to known Soviet produced types or take a different production style. If they are found to have been awarded Orders and Medals that do not fit the Soviet production types it may add weight to the story of Dutch produced "probe" items.
Begeers are the producer of the awards of the Netherlands amongst other things.
