censlenov Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I imagine you already know this but that type of mounting is worn by female recipients.

Ed_Haynes Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Yep, Broach Type.Never heard it called that before. "Bow" maybe?

Ed_Haynes Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Most British Empire awards, especially civil awards (most military awards lost that mount if/when mounted), came with a brooch (the upper pin mounting); only awards to women came on a bow mount.
