Austria Austrian but from when?

[Richarddwh]

I assume this is Austrian but from when, 1930s or far later? Any comments appreciated.

My first guess would have been something from the Vatican?

This is neither Austrian nor military. It is a Jerusalem Cross, also known as Crusaders' Cross - a religious symbol associated with the Catholic honorific order Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. I've also seen it used with Episcopal groups.

Richarddwh,

Perhaps you were thinking of the Austrian Order of the Republic or the Order of Merit when you started this thread.

Regards,

I was watching Spiderman 3 today and saw this logo on the Church they used as a "battle" between Spidey and Venom its on the floor as a huge symbol, if I run through it again I'll try to screen capture and post

Thanks Gents, I was way off the mark! Gordon, I think you're right, I thought it looked vaguely familiar.
