Order of the Bath miniature used to represent all grades of the Order, GCB. KCB, and, CB when awarded in the Military Division.

We provide a fine quality enamelled miniature manufactured to the correct size laid down in the statutes of the Order is half the size of a CB. Founded by King George I in 1725, this Order recognises the work of senior military officials and civil servants. The name derives from the elaborate medieval ceremony for Knighting, which traditionally involved bathing as a symbol of purification. Originally a single grade (KB) the Order was re-organised in 1815 and formed in two divisions, Military and Civil. The Military division had three grades GCB, KCB and CB while the Civil retained the single Grand Cross class.  This was altered in 1847 when the Civil Division was re-structured into the same three classes as the Military.
