Dear collectors,
I just acquired this interesting medal group, mounted at J R Gaunt, Montreal. It consists of:
-Order of Canada Member
-Order of St John Officer
-Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee medal
-Greece-Red Cross Gold Cross
-Greece-Order of George I, Officer's Cross
-Greece-National Fund decoration
-Greece-National Struggle Cross 1946-1950
-Greece-Military Merit medal, 4th class
-Greece-Interallied Victory medal
It is interesting to see for the first time an unofficial state award, as the National Fund decoration, attached on a group of medals.
I do have some questions whether this group is genuine or not, as the Victory medal was awarded no later than 1919, while the silver Jubilee medal couldn't have been awarded before 1977. I am wondering if anyone knows where I could find information about the owner of this group. The only thing I have is that the Order of Canada has a number of "296" inscribed on its reverse. If anybody can help, your assistance would be highly appreciated!
Regards,
Dimitris
