922F Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I do not know what these insignia actually represent but have seen them identified as an "Order of the Crown of Crete" and a "Patriarch's Order of the Crown", both what some call 'self-styled' orders Several similar stars, though not as well made as yours, exist with one being offered recently on eBay. The badge looks similar to some Coptic Egyptian church awards [bichay of Cairo made these type insignia up to about 1985]---is the other side the same as your badge image? Does either piece have maker or hallmarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHussein Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Does not any piece have maker or hallmarks, only the cross has Greek or Russian letters PP Nothing else to help identify them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
