As requested:

Thanks fellas. I should be able to post an image of the barrel in a couple of days or so.
-
Thanks Vince.

A 4th Class Prussian Order of the Crown with swords, unmarked.
-
No markings. I have tried to unscrew the swords, they are tightly fixed into place and I am loathe to put to much pressure on them, definitely not soldered on though. Yours looks a beauty and a PLM as well (is it a Godet?).
-
A 2nd Class Prussian Order of the Crown with swords. Opinions welcomed:

Well done, keep chipping away at building that collection of yours.

Greek Victory Medals

Luigi, it has all the characteristics of an official medal. I think you are ok with this one. -

The zinc-alloy(Kriegsmetall) medals I believe are slightly thicker(3mm) than the bronze ones which were about 2.5mm thick. Greg, how many stripes(if any) does yours have on its ribbon?
-
Very nice. The wound medals were mostly made of zinc-alloy, but also bronze with a gray wash and aluminium.
-
I believe they came in 2 sizes. The larger is about 22mm x 28.5mm. The one shown here is the smaller size.

I think the distinctive mark was on the zinc medals only.

Marcus66, Nice, with the yellow peace ribbon.

Thanks Elmar. Yes, the Ludwigstorff-Ortner books are excellent. I have the English version Part 1 but have yet to acquire Parts 2 and 3.
-
Interesting, would be great to find out whether this was the practice of some of the Austro-Hungarian military.
-
Nice pieces and still can be purchased at reasonable prices.
-
Duncan, what is written on the reverse of the medal, cannot quite make it out from the picture.

Looks similar to: 1914 1916 WW1 French 37mm silver medal by Lagrange agriculture antique sower - the reverse is different though. There is one here on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254998941474
