paul wood Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This is a Portuguese Order at typical French made piece which until the latter part of the 19th century most Portuguese Orders were. However it was awarded in Brazil the badges are easily distinguishable by the crown suspensions.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
