Accompanied by its Rosette, measuring 9 mm in diameter, with button hole attachment, in its hardshelled case of issue, exterior in a brown thatched-look design, the lid bearing the Norwegian Royal Crown and inscribed "DEN KGL. NORSKE St. OLAVS ORDEN" in gold-coloured ink, inside lid in white satin, padded and maker marked with the Jacob Tostrup of Oslo "TOSRUP 1832" insignia, base with a raised platform in red velvet that features a recessed medal bed, with a sticker placed in the base inscribed in Norwegian "K" (Kommandør = Commander) and "Sivilt" (Civil), along with being named and inscribed in Italian to "Dr. David Pellegrini, Cap Segr.

Footnote: The Royal Norwegian Order of Saint Olav is a Norwegian order of chivalry instituted by King Oscar I on August 21, 1847. It is named after King Olav II, known to posterity as St. Olav. Just before the union with Sweden was dissolved in 1905, the Order of the Norwegian Lion was instituted in 1904 by King Oscar II, but no appointments were awarded by his successor, King Haakon VII. The Order of St. Olav thus became the kingdom's only order of chivalry for the next eighty years. The Grand Master of the order is the reigning monarch of Norway. It is used to reward individuals for remarkable accomplishments on behalf of the country and humanity. Since 1985, appointments to the order has only been conferred upon Norwegian citizens, though foreign heads of state and royalty may be appointed as a matter of courtesy.
