Offered is a vintage, complete set of insignia for a Knight Commander of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a Catholic order of chivalry under the Holy See.
The set includes:
• Neck badge: A gold-tone Jerusalem cross (one large cross surrounded by four smaller crosses) in deep red enamel. It hangs from an armored-knight trophy with crossed banners and a red cross on the breastplate, on a black moire neck ribbon.
• Miniature: A matching Jerusalem cross on a black ribbon with a yellow and white enameled bar, the Holy See colors. The reverse carries a stylized maker’s mark consistent with Stefano Johnson of Milan.
• Case: The original red presentation box, embossed in gold with the Jerusalem cross.
Condition is good. The enamel and gilding are bright, and the ribbon shows light age creasing. The box is in good condition, but the satin interior has small areas of discoloration, shown in the photos.
Sold as pictured, with no papers or award documentation. It isn’t tied to any individual recipient. Please review all photos, as they are part of the description.
