Here is a picture of the pin badge I have just finished the mold for. The buckler is 1 3/4" (45mm) in diameter, and is backed with copper foil. the original is in the Mitchiner collection, and is illustrated in his 1986 catalog. It also appears in Brian Spencer's Salisbury Medieval Catalog, part 2. 1990.
These will be available for $10 in person at Pensic, and through mail order thereafter.

Hello Mac!
That looks fantastic. I hope there are some left by the time I show up on Sunday!
All the best,
Christian

Thanks!
I have a couple of dozen cast up. I hope to cast some more today. It's a fussy mold to pour, and I'm getting less than half good ones.

Hello,
Could you tell me which shrine or saint this is associated with? I would guess Beckett but I really don't have a clue.
Thanks so much!

If you clicked on their facebook page, the answer you would get is "nobody knows with certainty", but the guess is Canterbury.
