This so-called Equestrian Order of St. Gregorius commander badge Type I b (1870-1880) is made from gilt silver, gold and enamel. The "A” and "Tanfani & Bertarelli" marked cross is in case with ribbon.
The Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great was established on 1 September 1831, by Pope Gregory XVI, seven months after his election as Pope. The order is one of the five orders of knighthood of the Holy See. The honor is bestowed upon Roman Catholic men and women (and sometimes in rare cases to non-Catholics) in recognition of their personal service to the Holy See and to the Roman Catholic Church, through their unusual labors, their support of the Holy See, and the examples they set in their communities and their countries.
