"My sweet love, my man, may your path always be decorated with laurels and the greatest medal adorn your brave chest, on which your little woman who adores you, ton petit oiseau Lina, leans with such devotion"
The above dedication adorns the inside of the box of the luxury jewelry store P.Zenetos Frères S.A.
The box contains a Greek Turkish War medal in Silver. Special order as a woman's gift to her husband, her hero.
The medal is made by Zimmermann, as a "special" order. P.Zenetos Frères was a luxury jewelry store in Athens which was the representative of the medal maker Zimmermann, in Greece, after they bought out Pomonis in 1927-1928. This collaboration of theirs can be seen in the Medal of Valour, the Agricultural Merit Medal , etc.
Exciting and special find!
Special thanks to Nikolaos Stefanou.
