Brazilian Medals Display

[leo0274]

Hey guys, I'm from Brazil, and I mostly collect Brazilian Medals, here is my display:

Here goes all of them:

Medals for years of service, 10, 20 and 30 years. For high rank soldiers, the 20 years is made of silver and the 30 years is gold.

 

Sailor's Merit. On the back it says "To the Brazilian Navy. To a Sailor". Can be awarded with 1, 2, 3 or 4 anchors. The difference in collor on the ribbon is from different makers.

 

Aeronautical Merit Order. I have the chest plate and the miniature of a Grand Officer. This degree also as the collar, the bar and rosette, which I still don't have.

 

Officer Cross of the Order of Rio Branco. The highest order of the country. It is named in honor of the Brazilian diplomat José Paranhos, Baron of Rio Branco. The President of Brazil serves as the Grand Master of the Order while the Minister of Foreign Affairs is the order's Chancellor.

 

War Medal. Given to soldiers and civilians, Brazilian or foreign, who have performed relevant services in times of war or special government missions. From WW2.

 

The rest of the stuff in the display are not medals or awards, but here they go:

 

Capitão de Corveta Shoulder Ranks (Corvette Captain)

 

The buttons are from the army and navy of the Brazilian Empire (pre 1889):

 

And the star, is just a piece of a Second Liutenant shoulder rank
