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 bars2/ Belgium: Leopold Order , Military, Knight (difficult to see but seems non bilingual, so, before 1950)---Leopold II order, Officer---Crown order, Knight---War cross3/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, Commanderthat?s all folks...miguel Edited April 23, 2008 by hipnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
