« on: January 19, 2019, 09:36:49 PM »
    I just finished up this British Officers gorget to display on my table at the Lewisburg and Lake Cumberland shows.Each one I do gets a little better.This one is backed with real Moroccan pit tanned red leather as many originals were.The rosettes are silk from Creative Cockades.I've included a photo of the original for comparisan. If you're at either show stop by and say hi!!!!!!!!!!
