Gorget British Seal

Gorget British Seal

This Gorget British Seal features a raised Lion & Unicorn crest (U.K.). It is a narrow Gorget, measuring just 3.5″ across at the widest point. From top to bottom, it measures about 4.5″.   It has a slightly raised front edge. You will find it slightly heavier than some of our other Gorgets.  It comes with a leather lace cord. This piece has a stamped G and R just above the Lion & Unicorn.

Originally, 18th century European military officers wore Metal Gorgets as part of their uniform. In North America, Europeans gave gorgets to Native American leaders as trade goods. Over time, Metal Gorgets became prized trade items and part of Native American Regalia in the Eastern United States. This Gorget is very appropriate for French and Indian War period regalia.  A previous owner wore this Gorget British Seal, but it remains in very good condition.   One of a Kind!
