    Description

    In medieval times, King Edward III was so inspired by tales of King Arthur and the chivalry of the Knights of the Round Table that he set up his own group of honourable knights, called the Order of the Garter. Nearly 700 years later, the Order is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain. The Knights, now both male and female, used to be limited to aristocracy, but today they are chosen from a variety of backgrounds, in recognition for their public service
    This hat pin measures about 1 1/2"  across and about 1" tall.  It has nice enamel work and has the slogan: "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense".  Stamped sterling on the back, but the pin is broken.
