Default Order Of The Bath...?

Hi Guys,

Just got off the phone with a friend who was looking at a huge box of military belonging to someone he knows. He spotted something called 'The Order Of The Bath' and asked for any assistance with knowing more.

Not something I have heard of, anyone know more about this?

Cheers,

Roy

Roy, I'm no expert but if it's a genuine medal or a breast badge then it's a big dosh item. An image would be good.

Thanks for that mate.

My friend is planning to get photos next time he visits. It's in a chest full of military (uniformed, badges, bits etc) maybe all from one officer. He has been offered it from the family. He said it was cloth so a great badge I'm thinking and the quality was stunning. By the sounds of it, there is a good chance it's original but he will get more details on his next trip.

In the chest was also a number of Denison smocks too..!

Cheerio,

Roy
