Description from the seller
Antique brass badge with a blackened wood handle – 19th century
Handle cachet made of blackened wood, equipped with a brass matrix engraved with a complex monogram, likely used for religious or internal administrative purposes.
The handle, in the shape of a flattened drop, is typical of 19th-century productions.
The brass is patinated, without excessive wear to the engraving: the pattern is still clear.
Matrix:
Engraving in a four-lobed medallion.
Lecture: 'CssR / Coll. Br.' with lower monogram (probably the initials of the holder or an officer of the college).
Plausible interpretation: an abbreviation related to a congregation or a religious college, possibly Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris (Redemptorists) or a college bearing this name — without absolute certainty, but stylistically consistent with ecclesiastical usage from the 19th century.
Dimensions: Total height: 11 cm - Matrix diameter: 3 cm
Condition: Good overall condition. Wear from use on the handle (small chips of varnish). Clear engraving, not dulled. Homogeneous patina.
Provenance: Private collection.
