922F Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Sometime ago a thread on Greek awards focused on the Greek Valor Cross--I cannot find that thread now, however. One point involved discussion of the very rare neck badge of this award. A GMIC member wanted to see examples of this award. Just yesterday, a French-made one sold at auction. It realized about 4025 euros including commission. I do not seem able to post images but they now may be located at https://www.audap-associes.com/en/lot/99922/10897573 Edited October 24, 2019 by 922F add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heusy68 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hello Gentlemen, I have a similar cross in my collection. The cross is 43,5 x 50 millimeters, but total heigh with the crown 68 millimeters. Weight : 21 grammes. Dimension in AUDAP catalogue slightly differ, but their expert Jean-Christophe is a friend, he might have took total heigh from Bottom till middle of suspenion loop. There was such a Cross in one of the famous french auction of the 1980ies by Daniel Renaud. My cross comes from a greek dealer. Regards.

heusy68 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) And side by side, to compare size. The WWI version at left , due to its workmanship, likely french made. We know Godet in Berlin did manufactured the Cross of Valor smaller ranks (for WWII), but as I do not have the cases for these 2 Awards, I cannot state anything. Regards.
