According to this page, it looks like an 1885 military cross second class

Very insightful, Pete.
Thank you very much. I did a bit of online research but hit dead ends. You helped out a lot, friend. I'm thinking of getting it now. It's very nicely constructed.

It does look very sharp. I've been looking at some ww1 samples of these, but they're no where near as well made, but then considering how much of Belgium was left unoccupied in ww1, it stands to reason. I didn't know they went back that far. From what I've read about the French versions, they only started with theirs during the war. And here I thought collecting medals would be a nice not too expensive way to collect, little did I know how many there are lol

Yeah , this is a never ending field of collecting! This also nicely cased as mentioned. Ill post more of it when I end up picking it up.
There so many different variations of this style medal, that's why I had trouble researching it.
Dean.
