Thank you Rusty. Jan

Hamdulilah, I was lucky to find the correct ribbon. But I still dont know, if is it 4th or 5th class. Jan

Hello, I need ribbons for these two medals. Can somebody advice the source? Thanks Jan

Rusty, thank you very much. Can you identify, if my order is 4th or 5th class? And also what is hallmark on my grand cross star? Thanks

No news about ribbon source? Also would it be possible to translate markings? The number 95 means silver quality but arabic writings?

Hello, I have just got this nice medal, I dont kow, if is 4th or 5th class. Unfortunately the ribbon is incorrect. Can somebody advice , where to buy a correct one? Regards Jan

Of course I know these medals. I read your article in JOMSA Owain. But are we sure both medals were already officialy established? Isn't it possible that these medals are some kind of test samples? I sent email to Hanafy, but without any reaction. Do you have contact on him Rusty? Regards Jan

Hello, I study this excelent book, many informations there. But I have in my collection these two medals, which are nor included in the book. Can somebody explain? Hanafy is not replying my mails. Thanks Jan

Hello, I have just received the book from Rusty, whom I have to thank again very much. The book is excelent. Regards Jan

Thank you very much.

My tiny collection of Greek medals. Can somebody tell me what is my star? Grand Cross or Grand Officer? Thanks Jan

Untill now I did not have it. I like the design.

Thank you Megan. I didn't notice the different colors of the central medallions until now. I am more clever now 🙂. From your picture I see that this order has different size of stars. My star has size 79 mm. Is it grand cross or grand commander? I have in my collection 3rd, 4th and 5th class yet. Most probably republican versions, I dont remmeber exactly but when I am at home again I will make pictures. Jan

I have just acquired this beauty. It is made by Spink, so I beleive it is from a royal period.

Thank you very much. Jan

Nobody knows? Jan

Hello, would somebody knows what is the difference between these two versions of the badge? Thanks Jan

Nice collection.

Unfortunately no hallmarks at all.

Thank you very much Hendrik. Jan

Hello, I have just got this nice cross. Can somebody advice what period, what producer? Thanks Jan

The cross was sold today at EUR 88 000,- plus 20% auction extra. What to add.

Well, one has to be very careful when it comes to very rare things. This cross has a starting price of EUR 70,000. The auction house presents an expert opinion confirming authenticity. But no information about the origin. A total of 38 crosses were awarded and a total of 9 surviving pieces are known. As for minor changes in the design, we must not forget that the cross was made by hand, i.e. hand-painted Czech lion. I personally would be afraid to buy it.

A dealer is offering me this star. May I know your opinion as to the authenticity? Thanks Jan

Hello guys, this cross is offered in nexcoming auction. May I know your opinion? Jan
