Italy WWI Order of Saint St Maurice & Lazarus Knight's Cross

ITALY: Order of Saint Maurice and Saint Lazarus, 
Knight's Cross.
The Order was instituted in 1816 by King Vittorio 
Emanuele of Sardinia. 
It was awarded, mostly to Catholic recipients 
(Italian and non Italian) during the period of the 
Italian Monarchy for outstanding and meritorious 
Services to Italy. 
After the end of WW2, the Italian Republic no 
longer recognized further awards of the Order, 
however the Italian Royal Family in exile (King 
Umberto II and Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele) 
kept awarding the Decoration as Dukes of Savoy 
and Grand Masters of the Order.
This example is of the WW1 period.
