Belgium WWII Royal Household Medal for the Foreign Delegations at the Court Silver 2nd Class King Leopold III 1934 1940 by Dufossez

Belgium: Belgian Royal Household Medal for the 
Delegations of the Foreign Countries at the Royal 
Court, 2nd class, King Leopold III, since 1934. 
Singed by E. Dufossez.
The Royal Household medal was established in 
1889 by King Leopold II, in 3 types. 
King Leopold III amended the Royal Household 
medal in 1934 by establishing 2 different types 
(for the Employees of the Royal Court and 
for the Foreign Delegations at the Royal Court 
respectively), in 3 classes and 1 Special Medal 
in 2 Classes.
The Royal Household medal of King Leopold III 
is extremely scarce, due to the fact that it was 
actually awarded for just 6 years (1934-1940) as 
King Leopold III was kept in German captivity 
following the surrender of the Belgian Army to 
the Germans and fled to Switzerland after his 
liberation by the US Army in 1945, where he 
remained until 1950. 
Upon his return to Belgium, he was forced to 
abdicate in favor of his son Baudouin, in Aug. 
1950.
