A note regarding finials

Colour's finials - Image by Miles Li, 11 July 2015

he finials of all Greek military colours, both during the Monarchy and the Republics, have been in the form of a cross above a ball, but other than that there have been no standard design. The majority of colours have used the cross pattŽe with an additional pointy end at the bottom (A), thus making this a kind of cross pattée fitchy; others have used the Latin cross (B) or the Greek Cross (C).
Moreover, while the Navy have used silver finials and the Air Force have used golden ones, in the case of the Army these can be golden or silver, without any apparent reason (the old Royal Hellenic Army used golden and silver insignia to indicate ranks, rather than specific regiments or branches of service).
