    Well, Picked up another Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. This one is a MBE Type I - Civilian Broach Type. Defintely been around as is evident by Case Wear.

    I imagine you already know this but that type of mounting is worn by female recipients.

    Yep, Broach Type.

    Never heard it called that before. "Bow" maybe?

    Or Bow Broach ;)

    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.

    I agree, but what do you call the circled area?
