KHussein Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Hi there, I have an old two orders, I searched and asked too many experts but unfortunately no luck. I could not get any piece of information that could help me to identify them. Here some information if would like to help: 1) The first one is silver breast star with big crown in the medal measures: 90 mm in diameter & 54 Grams 2) The second one is cross with big crown on top & small cross on the top of the crown measures: 75 X 40 mm & 21 Grams Please examine the attached pictures Sincerely Khaled Hussein
922F Posted April 29, 2012 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?
KHussein Posted April 29, 2012 Author 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
