Hello everybody,

Here are some pictures from my collection of devices on Greek medals:

1) the Cross of Valor 2nd class 1940 type (with small crowns).

This award is very similar to the Cross of Valor for the WW1. The only differene is the addition of a bar with the date 1940. For every new award a small silver crown is added to the ribbon. Maximum three awards were allowed for each class.

As far as the Cross of Valor WW1 type is concerned new awards were denoted by small silver stars again no more than three for each class

2) War Cross WW2

This example shows 1st class War Cross (gilt crown) with 2 bronze and 1 silver crowns on the ribbon. It has to be said that this War Cross had 3 Classes:

1st Class the Cross suspened from gilt Crown

2nd Class the Cross suspended from silver Crown

3rd Class the Cross suspended from bronze Crown

I hope I have helped a bit..

I would like to thank everybody for your help. much appreciated

Hello everybody,

I need you expert opinion I have seen another MoH (Air Force model) in http://www.emedals.ca/catalog.asp?item=USA278#bigPic.

Hello everybody,

My question is about civilian awrads. I have bought in the past some of them (I think they are army ones), but other than that I don't have any other informationw on them . Informationw like:how many are there, does every service (Army Navy, Air force) has them? Is there any good site that I can look at them?

Than you very much

Kostas

Hello everybody,

Can anybody give me some information about the MoH (Tiffany Cross)? Specially pictures if possible. Also, are they all named, are there any around? if yes from were?

Thank you Kostas :speechless:

Thank you for the information.

Where can I find Mr Jeff Floyd does he have web address? About Us collector forum can I buy from it.

My name is Kostas, I am from Greece. I have sterted collecting ww1 American medals and I have the following question: must pre ww1 medal have to be numbered in order to be genuine or there are cases were those medals were issued unumbered but are still genuine?

Secondly, are there any dealers from which I can buy them from

Thank you very much

Kostas :jumping:

Hi I am Kostas

I thought it would be a good idea to post my most recent purchase a Grand Cross set of the Order of Leopold I with full sash and in a case of issue. Being Greek I haven't seen many of those so I am very happy to actually get one of those.

The set is made by FONSON a firm in Brussels that doesn't exist any more. The sash badge is 70 mm and the star is 75 mm and it's date 1918-1951.

Now because I am a new member I don't have large upload capacity to show you the pictures . So I asked Hendrik to do that for me- so pictures will follow

At this point I have to say a big thank you to Hendrik for all the above information and his help

Kostas

... more to follow.

Hendrik

thanks Gldank,

I would be very happy to read it from you.

kind regards

Thank you very much for your help-I am looking forward to anymore information on the subject

Kostas

Hello Kostas,

Difficult to say, even with a couple of good pictures, but I don't think you have a copy medal there, probably a slightly later strike by a different manufacturer.

Cheers,

Hendrik

Thank you very much for your help

Kostas

Hello Kostas,

... and welcome to GMIC !!! Here's one :

Best regards,

Hendrik

Hendrik thank you for the picture. It looks very similar to mine, however, my model is solid in the circle where the cross is-the cross in mine is enamel to. Is it possible to be from a different manufacturer? or is it a copy (I hope not)?

Hello,

I have bought recently a Medal for Belgian gratitude 2nd class with red cross badge. I know that theyare relatively scarce to find plus it looks relatively new . Unfortunatelly pictures are to big to send. Can anybody show me an example so I can compare it with the one I have.?

Thanks :D
