Jumpmaster Posted March 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2019 One of the favorite sets in my British collection. Numbered 1295, the cravat has the ties or hooks cut off but displays well. I love the detailed enamel work on British orders and the high quality involved. Is there potential for ID based on the number? I understand there are some provisions in the statutes that require return of some orders upon elevation or death. Does that make research or identification more difficult? Any direction and/or assistance is certainly appreciated. Link to comment

Hermann Posted March 4, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2019 Wow, and again wow !!! What a gem to own. There must be a list somewhere in a palace in the UK which will identify the recepient. Regards Herman Link to comment
Allan H. Posted March 4, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 4, 2019 Sal, You've got to eat one heck of a lot of Cracker Jacks to get prizes like those inside! Gorgeous pair! I once saw another neck order like your example with the fasteners cut off. The medal came with a piece of elastic with two fasteners attached to the ends. The fasters were like what you would see on a pair of suspenders. Perhaps your medal was worn with something like that rather than the wearer constantly trying to tie the ribbons behind his neck? Hope you can eventually ID the recipient. Allan Link to comment
Jumpmaster Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted July 7, 2019 Just an update. My quest for a case ended. I was lucky enough to run into this Collingwood Jewellers case and bring it home. It came with the instruction card for this order and the British Empire. I much prefer the visual of these beautiful pieces in their proper case. Link to comment
stratasfan Posted July 10, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 10, 2019 Amazingly beautiful! I can see why you wanted the matching case! It really does set it off! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment
Old Marine Posted July 11, 2019 Share #9 Posted July 11, 2019 Those are beautiful medals. Thanks for posting them. Link to comment
Jumpmaster Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted September 5, 2020 Maybe I shouldn’t have limited it to the knight commander grade, even the kids look great in their proper case. Please share what you may have in your collections, and period and grade. Link to comment
