A Dutch maltese cross

[Roeland]

Hello gents,

a collection colleague of mine bought this order.

We think is is some kind of freemason order or else from some kind of a religieus

or brotherly society/associotion.

Does anybody recognise the order? or has anybod got an idea of what it could be for/from?

Thanks in advance for the help.

kind regards,

Roeland

Nice item, but not from English Freemasonry, perhaps another country?

Roeland,

I can see that the hallmark is the small Dutch guarantee mark, post 1953 I can't work out what the smaller mark is. My guess is it is a protestant unofficial knightly order. It has almost Johanniter like looks.

Hope you get more positive information,

Paul

Hello gents,

thank you for the reply and information, already a litlebit wiser.

The smaller mark on the back is a little sword.

This is indeed a jewel from a masonic order, certainly in Scotland:

Order of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta
