I also have the Greek-Bulgarian War 1912-13 award. My girlfriends father found it here in Syros in knee-deep waters down in the sea at Saint Nikolas.
I would like to ask some questions about this medal oRion if you wouldn't mind.
pm me when you can.
Thank you

This one is for Good Military Service for officers. Issued today on the front we can see Theodoros Kolokotronis, General and a war hero of the Greek Revolution of 1821. On the back we have the crest of the Greek Armed Forces as it is today and the medal's issue date, 1991. :)

I have what I believe to be an early Greek Navy Cap with four different accoutrements pinned on it. Can anyone tell me how to go about posting photos of these items to this site so that someone might be able to identify them for me? Thanks to anyone who has the time to explain this to me!
