Sal Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 A truly gorgeous St. Agatha GC cased set. A beautiful order well crafted by Cravanzola. This set features a full length sash with beautiful sash badge in excellent condition. Additionally includes the breast Star marked on the reverse Cravanzola. All this beauty is housed in its full length case of issue. The inner pad is missing but displays beautifully nonetheless. Enamel is excellent condition as well. The Order of Saint Agatha (Italian: Ordine Equestre di Saint' Agata) is a State orderestablished on 5 June 1923 by the Grand and General Council of the Republic of San Marino. It is named after Saint Agatha, on whose feast day 5 February, Pope Clement XII reestablished the sovereignty of the republic in 1740. The order is presented to foreign nationals who have positively contributed charitable and other services for the benefit of the republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Excellent [judging by Gardino's plaque on the star reverse] post 1946 set. There may be a hallmark on the badge ribbon ring or on the edge of a badge arm. Replacement inner case pads may be available from Guccione, Roma. Contact them in Italian for best response. GMIC posts discuss Gardino-Cranvanzola manufacturing transition periods. J. Jacob's Court Jewelers Of The World reports useful information on the subject as well.
