Default Chain of ?????

Hi All,

I'm throwing myself on the collective mercy of the forum and asking for help with this chain.

I suspect it's probably not military but does anyone know what it is?

The chain seems to have letters in amongst it.

Thanks for the help,

Michael

The chain looks like a modified copy of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George.......

Take a look here......

It looks like a piece that has been made up for a theatrical performance..... The big star I think is the order of The Black Star of Benin....
But in whole it is to Bast**dized to actually represent anything......
