Comment by unknown user, that has been moved from the article text to here:

I don't think that this is the crown of Greece. It is nothing like the crown used at the funeral of the late King Paul and it is not the same as the crown of Otto taken back to Greece and given to King Paul by an Archduke of Bavaria! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.240.156 (talk) 18:03, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Well, the picture seems to be an obvious Photoshop job. The unnamed user above thinks it doesn't even look like the actual item. Anyone know? or have a real public domain image we could use? -LlywelynII (talk) 16:23, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, the previous crown was a rather fanciful Photoshop job. According to this the crown looked quite different. I found a color version online, and substituted the fictional one with this. Constantine 21:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orb instead of sword

edit

In the sources of the English article (which are in Greek), both in the text and in the photographic material, there is no reference to a globe but there are multiple references and photographs of the "Ceremonial Sword of Otto". Is there something I'm missing or is the info offerf in the article wrong? Footnote: I don't know if it helps but the French and German entries refer to crown, scepter and sword while the English, Greek and Russian refer to crown, scepter and sphere. 2A02:214C:8840:AF00:D9B0:B7E3:617F:ED61 (talk) 15:04, 13 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
