This gorget measures 4-1/2" in height by 4-1/4" wide. The convex brass gorget has folded edges and a buff leather back with a period paper label with a handwritten inscription "Captain Roger Walmer/Cumberland M". The original black cloth plumes are still intact. The front has a gilt finish and is engraved with a large Georgian crown of "GR" monogram for George Rex III, King of England. On each side is an attentive branch. CONDITION: Very good with generous traces of gilt finish along protected edges. Label on back shows some losses. A very nice identified gorget. DMG
