ARTIFACT:
This is a Knights' Templar Pilgrim Commandery, No. 9 badge from Lowell, Massachusetts. Styled upon the ancient group of warrior-gentlemen who protected Christian travelers to the holy Land, the Knights Templar is a modern-day fraternal society under the umbrella of Masonry. The badge is a beautifully enameled Knight's Cross and was worn at the 24th Triennial Conclave in September 1919 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This badge was recently purchased from a man who was breaking up his Lowell collection, and came to us along with a Lowell Knights' Templar badge (please see link at bottom of page for more information - sold separately).
