Swiss Guard pins
I have been after items to the Swiss Guard for years, but not with much luck, I'm afraid.
Several years ago I asked a religious dignitary who travelled regularly to the Vatican whether he could help out. Next time we met, he presented me with the insignia worn by an officer and a guard. They actually appear to be similar in construction to tie-pins. For all I know they may be Swiss Guard souvenirs but nevertheless are most welcome additions. Would appreciate if any member can put me right on this matter. The chromed halberd is guard's insignia and the gilt sword is officer's. The latter is maker-marked 'Kammerer'. GTB |
