Hi Max

Thanks for your photos.

I don't recognise it as an English Masonic medal/jewel, but from the way it is made - especially the hanger and pin - I would guess it to be between 1880-1920.

Difficult to give any further information without maker's name, unless someone can identify the medal. The motto "Vincere aut mori" translates (I think) as "Conquer or die" which implies military origins to me.

Sorry I can't help more,

Richard

Max,

I would agree with what Richard has said. I have never seen an English Or Scottish jewel anything like this.

Hi,

there is a relationship to German Hussar Regiments, the black Hussars, especially the Belling Hussars, later the 8. Husarenregiment:

But one finds a roughly similar hanger system with British Freemason honorings:

Thanks all.

I thinks this massonic medal is NETHERLANDS place.
