AND BOUTONNIÈRE

COMPLETE SET AND IN ORIGINAL PRESENTATION CASE

MAKER C.F. CARLMAN

EVERY PIECE IS IN EXCELLENT, ALMOST MINT PRISTINE CONDITION!

THE ENAMELING THROUGHOUT IS ALMOST ALL COMPLETELY INTACT WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF NON-ISSUE, NON-DETRACTING SMALL CHIPS AND HAIRLINES THAT CAN'T BE SEEN EXCEPT WITH A MAGNIFIER. THE ORIGINAL RIBBONS ARE CLEAN, SHINY AND BRIGHT, AND LOOK AS NEW AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESENTED.

THE SWEDISH CHIVALRIC ROYAL ORDER OF VASA (KUNGLIGA VASAORDEN) WAS INSTITUTED IN 1772 BY KING GUSTAV III. NO LONGER CONFERRED, IT HAS BEEN “DORMANT” SINCE 1974.

THE ORDER WAS AWARDED TO CITIZENS OF SWEDEN AND FOREIGNERS, UNRESTRICTED BY BIRTH AND EDUCATION, IN EFFECT; OPEN TO ANYONE FOR SERVICES TO THE STATE OR SOCIETY. THIS JUNIOR OF SWEDISH CHIVALRIC ORDERS WAS ESPECIALLY GRANTED TO THOSE WORTHY OF RECOGNITION IN THE AREAS OF AGRICULTURE, COMMERCE, CRAFTS, EDUCATION, INDUSTRY, MINING, PUBLIC SERVICE, TECHNICAL PROGRESS, AND TRADE.

A COMMANDER OF THIS BEAUTIFUL ORDER, THE THIRD OF FIVE CLASSES, WEARS THE BADGE ON A NECKLET, AS IN THIS SUPERB EXAMPLE.

1. COMMANDER BADGE NECKLET: THE 18 KARAT GOLD BADGE OF THE ORDER IS A WHITE ENAMELED BALL-TIPPED MALTESE CROSS.

BETWEEN EACH ARM OF THE CROSS IS A CROWN. A PIERCED STYLIZED SHEAF OF HAY, THE SYMBOL OF THE VASA DYNASTY, IS FRAMED INSIDE OF A GOLD OVAL WITH RED ENAMELING AT THE CENTER OF THE CROSS. AROUND THE RED ENAMEL IS THE GOLD LETTERED LEGEND “ + GUSTAV . DEN . III . INST . MDCCLXXII (INSTITUTED BY GUSTAV III, 1772)”.

SWEDISH HALLMARKS ARE BETWEEN THE INNER EDGES OF THE TWO POINTS OF BOTTOM ARM OF THE CROSS. IT IS STAMPED “C.F.C.” (C.F. CARLMAN) AND WITH THREE CROWNS WITHIN THE “CAT’S FOOT” SWEDISH CONTROL MARK. IT IS ALSO STAMPED 18K FOR GOLD AND “V8” WHICH IS FOR THE YEAR 1945.

BOTH SIDES OF THE BADGE ARE IDENTICAL. THE CROSS IS SUSPENDED FROM A ROYAL CROWN ON A SWIVEL PIN. THE MEDAL IS ATTACHED TO A THE GREEN SILK MOIRE FLARED NECK RIBBON OF THE ORDER WITH METAL CATCHES TO SECURE WHEN WORN.

2. THE MINIATURE OF THE ORDER IS IDENTICAL TO THE COMMANDER BADGE, SUSPENDED FROM A GREEN MOIRE RIBBON. THE GOLD OVAL IS NOT PIERCED, BUT A SOLID APPLIQUÉ.

3. THE LAPEL BOUTONNIERÈ IS A SMALL ROSETTE RIBBON ON A RECTANGULAR RIBBON, WITH A STURDY METAL BUTTONHOLE SHANK BACK.

4. THE RED PRESENTATION CASE HAS THE MAKER PRINTED IN GOLD ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID. THE COMPANY, C.F. CARLMAN AB, STOCKHOLM, WAS FOUNDED IN 1855, AND HAS BEEN THE SOLE PRODUCER OF SWEDISH ORDERS SINCE 1875.

NECK BADGE HANGS 85 MM FROM SUSPENSION LOOP AT TOP OF CROWN AND IS 55 MM WIDE.

MINIATURE HANGS 48 MM (INCLUDING RIBBON)

BOUTONNIERÈ IS 13 MM X 9 MM
