A fine gold and enamel presentation jewel, suspended from its original maroon-and-silver moiré ribbon and topped by a gilt bar inscribed QUADRAGESIMUS SECUNDUS (“Forty-Second”).

The square is engraved with a full presentation inscription naming the recipient (a W. Bro.), together with lodge/office details and a date (as visible on the photograph). The pendant also shows a stamped/engraved emblem to reverse. Condition: Very good. Enamel generally strong with minor age wear; ribbon with light creasing and wear; gold with typical surface marks; fittings secure. Case with expected age handling.
