Appologies in advance if there is a more suited section to display this large hallmarked silver pendant from The Order of Readers.

Hallmarked from Birmingham in 1929, measures 62mm across and weighs a very healthy 59 grammes.

An interesting item of which we have never came across before and there is not hige quantities of reading out there what I have found on The Order of Readers , So apart from showing it here it may be something someone would like to add additional information on.
