It is an interesting jewel, and hand made, but not an uncommon form. What is more interesting to me is that I actually have a postcard from this Commandery in 1905 which shows Sir Blair Francis Crise wearing this jewel!
He is the guy in the middle with the - well - jewel. They guy to his right looks like a lot of fun though.
From what I have read, he became Dr. B.F. Crise in 1883, and was a medical examiner. He was a founding member and 1st commander of this KnightsTemplar group in 1904.
This jewel is 5" by 2" and weighs 26 grams. It is unknown metal content.
relative amount I paid for this - medium
As of 2/9/14 the gold scrap value works out to about $________
However, none of these are for sale.
