Doc,

This is an independant country, known as Saint Kitts and Nevis, officially the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis (or the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis), located in the Leeward Islands, in the Caribbean.

Likely designed by P. Eagleton and made for/marketed via either Bezant [mid-late 1990s] or Worth (Bahamas) [late 90s through present]. Believe that a complete system consisting of at least two orders and several medals exist, or were at least designed.

My research has so far thrown up the following: -

Order of the National Hero

Star of Merit

Medal of Honour

Order of St Christopher and Nevis

Independence Medal 1983

However the Medal of Honour is the only one I have found a picture of, although I do know the ribbons for the Order of St Christopher & Nevis and for the Independence Medal. The first 3 were instituted in 1998, the Order of St Christopher & Nevis in 2005.

Now you know as much as I do...

You can find some additional information in the book of Guy Stair-Sainty (World Orders of Knighthood and Merit), Chapter 19, page 1537, under "Saint Kitts and Nevis (Formerly the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis)"

How could you miss it! Using it is good exercise, though. Ooooff.

Nobody was home when it was delivered... I felt rather sorry for the neighbour who took it in and came round when I got home from work!
