Estonia Small Swedish award group

[kimj]

This group came up on a Swedish forum. It was inherited and has lost it's information. No papers with it either unfortunatly.

The mounted orders are Swedish Order of Wasa and Estonian Order of the Red Cross, I think 5th class. But what is the other? The owner thought Italian, I have looked at all the sites with official Italian awards...nothing. So any ideas?

Text on the unkown "Italian":

Obverse: REG.AC.MILIT.ORDO.S.CASIMIRI.

Reverse: FUND.AD.MCMXLVI.

Hi Kim,

Seems to be the "Ordre Souverain Militaire de Saint-Casimir", from Italy. It has been discontinued in 1953, as many other former italian or princes' orders... but that's all I have for the moment.

Thanks for the ID Christophe! I guess I did my home work badly and missed it. Anybody got a site for Italian awards...?

Hi Kim,

I've seen a number of sites dealing with Italians Orders. But, few of them, unfortunately deal with the former Italian orders (cancelled in the 50s).

Cheers.

Hello Kim,

As Christophe mentioned, there seem to be no sites dealing in depth with those abolished awards. Here's a list of nearly all those that were discontinued in 1953 and which the Italian government prohibits from wearing : http://www.cnicg.net/falsiordini.asp
