Posted this in the wrong section, Moderator please move to the Imperial section.

Done and thanks for an interesting post.

Really, really interesting. Reminds me of this famous Jubilee cross:



...the subject of this thread.

So where did you find that catalogue?

[Don D.]

Beat you to it Trevor.

Beat you to it Trevor.

You sure did.

[kriztof]

Thanks Don.

I thought this would get yours and Trevor's attention

[Don D.]

Baking a crow pie right now.

Hi,

But is it dated? Are there more medals/pages on it which could pin the production date of this infamous cross?

Best regards,
Michel

I see nothing past 1897 on that page. Perhaps some ice cream to ad to that pie. Always makes it taste better.

I hate to admit it but it looks like the cross and catalog might be a match.
We must remember however that not all catalogs showed faithfull reproductions of their offerings .

[Don D.]

True Greg but why would they have dreamt up that ugly hump/ring attaching system?

[AlikN]

They still making 1813s..??? at that time?..

[Don D.]

Why not? Patriotic displays.

I agree -- you don't imagine and draw a feature that has never been a part of any other EK in history in a catalogue. Personally I think we are looking at a drawing of this jubilee cross.

They still making 1813s..?

I wonder if anyone has seen an 1813 EK with this odd frame and ribbon ring attachment? It could be the reverse of the 1870 EK. Although it is in a strange position for a reverse picture in a catalogue, admittedly... and no one prints reverse pictures anyway.
