Hello! :wink:
You are talking of the neck award resembling the Michael the Brave Order, but enameled in red, with the Archangel Michael on the obverse, and the 4 x M cipher (Michael's cipher)? I still have a picture of it... I talked with a person who said that it was maybe Spanish! But it was looking very much like a Romanian award (maybe religious?), and with nearly an identical ribbon as the Michael the Brave Order... |

Are you talking of the second medal, from right (see scan)?

No, that's the Order of Queen Maria, in knight's class... I was talking of a red enameled order, very similar in form to the Michael the Brave one.

Never saw it before in my life. It resembles the MV Order a little. It is also strange that instead of Mihai's monogram it had the Mihai I cross with a crown inside it. Maybe a fake award, meant on taking advantage of not very informed collectors?

It was sold at some 275$ on eBay! The buyer was "pagoni" a specialist in Romanian militaria!
The monogram on the cross is a variation of the first with the "I" in the "M"... It is just scarcer to see... I saw that kind of monogram on a box of the Order of the Crown of Romania - Knight... The image is unfortunately no more available on eBay. It is possible that this award may be religious (?)... |

Maybe you can ask this "pagoni" what it was.

"Pagoni" is not a registered eBay user any more. I am wondering, what did he change his name to? He bought a lot of Rumania-related artifacts. Dénes |

Looks a little bit like our unknown medal, and like MV Order...

The image you posted is that of an old Italian order that now is some sort of a house order of the royal house of Italy. I do not think that it is related to the misterious badge under investigation.
