Picked this up recently and thought it might be interesting to members. Unfortunately I am in the dark about who would have worn it - team members or competition Judges.

Dannert or chain link I wonder? :) Regards, Paul.
It does look a well made item, buckle and strap fittings?

Yes Paul it is very well made, including the bullion badge (KC). The reverse is fully lined with a satin type material and eastic band connectors. It does not open fully.

Mark is correct, these were worn by officials - Umpires, scorekeepers and others.

With the satin and elastic, it would be suitable for use while fencing by a team member, nothing to catch or snag. Just a thought. Regards, Paul.
