Because my life doesn't have enough weirdness yet

[michiexile]

So, while packing my stuff up to either check in to an airplane or put in storage, I rifle through the pockets of my various formal dresswear, and in one of them, I find a plastic bag containing a small old medal.

I can no longer remember whether the medal was in the coat I've owned myself, or the one I inherited from my late grandfather. One of them.

And I cannot figure out what it is. From the looks of it, it shares many features with some of the Swedish royal orders - such as the crowns and the white Malteser cross.


If anyone can help me identify it, I would appreciate it. It looks more like a cheapish knockoff in emaille and tin than the real thing - but still - it's bound to have SOME sort of story before it shows up out of thin air in my coat pocket.

Here it is:




I'm flummoxed and stumped.

Nothing exactly right.

It shares VERY many design features with the Big Swedish Royal Orders - but not enough for any of them.
