    Just came across this long lost family member complete with medal. He was born in Argentina in 1884 and died in British Columbia in 1957. Long shot and sorry for the poor pic, it's the best I have. Thanks in advance.
    :)

    I must say I have no idea but I'm intrigued. If the bottom "T" had been missing it would've been a masonic medal but as it stand I cannot say what it is.

    Very interesting, and I hope someone will be able to help you.

    It seems to fit in with the Teutonic Cross.

    There are some links:

    (bottom left of the page is the cross)

    Also, could be this order (Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem):

    (Insignia of the Hochmeister, or High Master)

    Thanks for the links - needless to say I'm still very puzzled. :D
