NOI ORDINE SI MEDALII INTRATE ÎN COLECłIA MUZEULUI ALBAIULIAN

In July 2003, the patrimony of the National Museum of Unification Alba Iulia was enriched with three decorations, which belonged to Jolondcovscki Alexei Carp (1883-1957), National Peasant Party deputy of Tighina, who was in service in 1933-1934. In 1940, he was deported in Siberia. He came in Romania after sixteen years and died in 1957. He received three distinctions, in unknown circumstances. His heirs have donated the orders to the museum. 1. Crown of Romania, Knight grade- this order was meant to reward outstanding services for the state and was awarded both to military and civilians. 2. Eagle of Romania, Knight grade- was awarded to members of the Parliament according to the number of legislatures and their standing in the Parliament. Thus, the senators and deputies elected for the first time received Knight grade. The presidents of the legislative bodies elected for the first time received Commander first class grade. This distinction was also awarded to foreign Parliament members. 3. Peles medal- was a commemorative medal established in 1933. It was awarded to the members of the royal house and their invitees during the celebration of fifty years from the inauguration of Peles castle by Carol I, on 25 September 1933. It was awarded to civilian personalities, to the members of the Superior Council of the Army, and to the military of Sinaia garrison, etc.. All these pieces have contributed to the enlargement of the collection of medals of the museum of Alba Iulia. They represent one of their kind pieces in the collection. The family of their possessor has preserved them very carefully in conditions of severe hardship. The medals were handed to the museum in an excellent state of conservation.
