Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes – Jewel for “New Territories” (Hong Kong), G.L.E. (45.64 x 32.75 mm, 30.69 g). Maker: J. R. Gaunt & Son, London Material: Gilt metal with enamel; original ribbon Period: Mid-20th Century (c. 1940s–1960s) A rare and geographically significant Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (R.A.O.B.) G.L.E. jewel associated with the New Territories of Hong Kong. RAOB regalia from colonial Far East lodges is notably scarce, making this an attractive and desirable piece for advanced collectors. The top gilt suspension bar is enamelled R.A.O.B. in deep blue and features ornate scrollwork typical of Gaunt manufacture. Suspended from this is the original tri-colour ribbon of red, white, and black, clean and structurally sound for its age. A prominent gilt buffalo-horn device sits below the ribbon, a symbol of strength and fraternity within the Order. Beneath this, a decorative scroll bearing G.L.E. (Grand Lodge of England) supports the main enamelled shield. Obverse The shield is enamelled in red and blue with gilt detailing. It bears the inscription: NEW TERRITORIES At centre are two crossed kukri knives, symbolic of the Gurkha regiments historically stationed in Hong Kong and the wider Far East — a strong indication that this jewel relates to a lodge connected with British military personnel. Around the shield border are gilt rampant lions on a blue ground, recalling heraldic motifs associated with British colonial institutions. Reverse The reverse is plain gilt metal except for hallmarking at the bottom, indicating manufacture by: J.R. Gaunt & Son, London (Marks consistent with mid-20th-century Gaunt production.) A period affixed label remains with old cataloguing/valuation notations. Condition: Very Fine. Ribbon clean with only light wear; enamel vivid and intact; gilt surfaces bright with gentle age patina; original pin-back suspension fully functional. A seldom-seen RAOB jewel from a Hong Kong–related lodge, notable for its crossed kukri motif and New Territories designation — both of which strongly appeal to collectors of overseas RAOB regalia.
