Hello all, Here?s another piece from my collection. A nice portuguese Order of Christ - this one?s a little smaller than the normal size, awarded to a brazilian military officer in 1800?s Cheers, Ricardo

OH MY GOD

Hello Yankee, I?m sorry for the delay - but I just forgot to do a proper research on my books Well, after some reading, I think that the "Oficial" insignia comes without the crown (both medal and breast badge) while the "Cavaleiro" comes with the crown but was used without the breast badge. Maybe someone else can add something... Kind regards, Ricardo

Great badges Chris!! Wonderful collection! Cheers, Ricardo

I could not find the link to the new images Can someone help me?? Cheers, Ricardo
