"GVIR" CROWNED in wreath - What is it ? please
I have acquired this badge.
It is impressed "FIRMIN LONDON" Measures approx. 34 mm x 45 mm Crown has enamel paint, the metal looks like it has been gilted. I thought it had something to do with Norfolk. Freddy |

It appears something was suspended from it and the more knowlegable would understand the significance of the difference in the foliage surround!

Hi Freddy
Sorry to say I don't know what it is but I agree with "Pembird" - it would appear to have had something suspended from the reverse and the unusual wreath is probably of some significance. I was wondering why you thought it had a Norfolk connection? Are you thinking along the lines of it being worn by staff at Sandringham perhaps? David |

Hi,
At first glance I thought it was a Territorial Efficiency Decoration, but they are Oak leafed all around not Laurel and Oak. Looking at the size it may be some kind of sweetheart device?? Paul |

I've got a picture of one of these with a queen's crown & EIIR cypher and have it annotated as "Former Honorary Chaplain to the Queen Breast Badge" so would suggest it is a Former Honorary Chaplain to the King Breast Badge. Oak leaves one side and laurel leaves the other is common to RACD cap badges. Paddy |

This is the badge for a HONORAY CHAPLIN worn on the stole I believe. I know there are versions for GVR, GV1R & E11R- see attached. If you are passing it on please PM me.
