zorg Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Dear Gentlemen, does anyone have seen such a cross in a book or an auction catalog? Thx zorg Silver Cross 46 x 33mm to the third anniversary of the reformation Avers: '3.tes Reformationsjubilaeum 1817' - Medaillon of Luther Revers: Medaillon with the all seeing eye
Wild Card Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 A very attractive cross. I would also like to know what it is. Hopefully someone will be able to tell us.
dedehansen Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Hello zorg, the sign on the avers is the sign from Freemason in Germany. May be you have to surche this way. Andreas
zorg Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Hi dedehansen, I don't think so. In my opinion the cross have nothing to do with freemansonry. The allseeing eye symbolize the omnipresence of god ... not only for freemasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence Edited December 11, 2011 by zorg
speedytop Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 It is written: 3tes Reformationsjubiläum 1817 3rd jubilee of the Reformation 1817 It is meant the Reformation in 1517 (Luther), 300 years ago. Therefore it is a protestant cross, religious. Uwe
zorg Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Yes - thank you, Uwe! Returning to my basic question: does anyone have seen such a cross in a book or an auction catalog? Is it an individual item or are there others?
