Medal Indentification

[Guest Darrell]

Peeps,

Here is an old picture out of a military magazine from the 70's.

Can anyone hazard a guess to the medals?

L to R, Top to Bottom?

It seems very easy...

1/ Italy: St Maurizio & St lazarus order, knight---Order of the Crown of Italy, knight---Bravery Cross---Medal for the unification of Italy with two bars

2/ Belgium: Leopold Order , Military, Knight (difficult to see but seems non bilingual, so, before 1950)---Leopold II order, Officer---Crown order, Knight---War cross

3/Greece: War Cross (1916-1922)---Military merit cross, fourth class, 2nd type (1940)

Serbia: St Sava Order, 1st or 2 type (red robes), knight (I can?t see if is gilded or not)---Takovo order, Commander

that?s all folks...

worth every penny. i used to take it along to antique fairs for "authentication" purposes. If course, in those days a Victory medal was only 50p.
