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.

Re: The New Gold Star Order
Dagmar? Or in other words Мария Фёдоровна?

Re: The New Gold Star Order
Would that be the Middle German born Catherine? Who was married to Danish (Kiel was Danish until 1864) born Peter III who was born to the duke of Holstein-Gottorp which was also in union with Danmark?
How about the ribbon on the Dannebrogordenen which was founded in 1671?

Re: The New Gold Star Order
Don't show modern styles of wearing, show period illustrations (paintings) please.

Re: The New Gold Star Order
I don't know about period pictures of Danes but here are two period pictures of Russians not wearing the Danish style ribbon in 1777 and 1854.
Kutuzov in 1777 and Tihotskij in 1854. The imperial Russian award system has certainly got more interest and write ups than the Danish system. Not that the Danish award system isn't also very intriguing too.

Re: The New Gold Star Order
This is all a very interesting topic and a very interesting discussion, but I fear we are cluttering-up "GabrielMk3"'s equally interesting and valuable thread by doing all this here. Can surgery be done to this thread to create something new on the history of suspensions? (Assuming there isn't an old, buried thread that addresses this?)
