Sorry, I have no idea what you are trying to ask. In these tiny muddy pictures I can see nothing that seems to have anything to do with Nepal (I assume that was your suggestion?).

O.K.! Again! On first picture is writen:

Top:

Koenige Neapolitani Orden "In Sanguine Foedus" and the crest of PORTUGAL! Why?

Under: Ritter des hl Ianuarii / Chevalier de St. Janvier

and the other picture looks like a knigth of order de avis but what is to sea for a church?

In Porto Lisboa?

Oh, Naples. Not Nepal.

Very interesting, an early representation of the Order of St Janarius which was founded by the Infante Carlo de Borbone who was Duke of Parma and king of the Two Sicilies before succeeding to the Spanish throne in 1759. It was founded in 1738 to commemorate his marriage to Princess Amalia Walburga of Saxony. It received Papal approval in 1741. It was intended to create an order with similar prestige to the Orders of the Golden Fleece, Holy Ghost and the Garter. As a dynastic order it is still awarded to this day by the Duke of Castro, head of the house of Bourbon
