Greece WWI Royal Order of the Redeemer 1863 Knight's Cross 5th Class Boxed by Lemaitre

Greece: Royal Order of the Redeemer, Knight's 
Cross, 5th Class.
In its box of issue.
High quality example by the French House of 
Lemaitre, Paris. 
The Order was established in 1829 by the 4th 
National Assembly of the Hellenes, in Argos, in 
order to reward those who had fought for and 
supported the War of independence.
Its issuance started by Royal Decree of King 
Otto in 1833. 
This form was introduced in 1863, following the 
amendment by King George I, that replaced the 
portrait of King Otto by the Icon of Jesus Christ 
the Redeemer.  
The Order is awarded to "distinguished Greek 
citizens who have defended the interests of the 
Country in War time or who have rendered 
highly exceptional social services in Greece or 
abroad".
It remains the Highest Honor of the Hellenic 
Republic in its new form since 1974 (without the 
crown).
