Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Thanks Megan! It really is an unknown area for most, despite having the advantage of many medals available on the market, it is frustrating that there is little information in general about them.

Megan Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 About the only documentation is Hyginus Eugene Cardinale's book Orders of Knighthood, Awards, and the Holy See - and that is not particularly detailed (I have a copy tucked away). Yet another area I really ought to get up on my website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted Sunday at 16:18 Author Share Posted Sunday at 16:18 I've already seen some pages of this book, overall it's very good, as for your website, it would be great to include the pontifical medals! I used it many times to identify medals I didn't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
