Description: New book, 56 pages, 120+ pages. This book introduces the insignia worn by members of British Orders of Knighthood and Chivalry. These Orders have existed since the early Middle Ages and were initially intended to unite important noblemen in bonds of loyalty to their monarch or to act as impressive rewards for their services. The insignia worn by the various ranks within the Orders are often of the highest quality and exquisite workmanship and, like the campaign medals and decorations, have become a popular field for collecting and research.
