Knights of Columbus??

[against the wind]

Was this attached to a ribbon and worn around the neck at a Knights of Columbus or similar club meeting??

Looks more like Knights Templer than Knights of Columbus.

I believe it is a Maltese Cross

I believe it is a Maltese Cross

I kind of thought that was a given.

The back of the cross is flat, smooth, and there are no holes or eyelets where an attachment can be made.
Because it is heavy, I'm thinking it may have been used as a paperweight. I still haven't found an organization, (on line), that I can connect this item to.

I'm wondering why the knight(?) is missing his head!

The knight was damaged,, it was not designed as a headless knight.

That makes sense. Be kind of weird, though much more interesting, if it was intended to be that way!
