The Royal Victorian Order, G.C.V.O., sash badge of a Dame Grand Cross in silver-gilt and enamels, the reverse officially numbered ‘D8’, complete with full dress sash for a Lady, extremely fine and rare

Ladies were admitted to The Royal Victorian Order from 1936, the first appointments being to members of the Royal Family. The low number on this badge suggests that it could have been amongst those first issued.
