FireMedals Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I've seen these medals with colored shields. Red, white and blue. Does anyone know anything about those? docpomus, Just one of the many, many variations of this medal. There were any number of companies making these, and as long as they looked something like the regular white cross, eagle, etc., the various Commanderies could order whatever they liked.

Wyomingguy Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 And a quick addenda to this. When I joined a Masonic Knights Templar Commandery in 1988, I was given one of these upon receiving the Malta degree. It is rather tinny and unmarked. We had the option of upgrading to a better variety with the name of our Commander on the top suspension bar. In the collectors market, they are often mistakenly sold as Civil War mourning crosses.

Florence Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hi, I was reading about these medals and I have some Masonic items one of which is this particular medal made my the Henderson Ames company you spoke of and I was wondering if perhaps that would help me date this medal? I don’t really know how to insert an image from a url, only from pictures on this phone. If you have any suggestions I’d definitely appreciate it! Thank you. Sincerely, Florence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneprince Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Going through my late grandfather's things I see that he received one of these medals from the Masonic order. Is there any way to find out when he was awarded it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
