Imperial Order of the Crown of India
1877 (8 November) mourning letter from Balmoral Castle from the Queen's secretary, "The Queen returns these designs. She has chosen No.3 but thinks the letter R ought not to be in turquoise but either the V. or I. should be in blue - there should be a small white edging to the ribbon. The badge might perhaps ... trifle smaller. The Queen will return the sketches tonight,"; vertical folding crease. Photo

The Order was established by Queen Victoria in 1878, when she became Empress of India. The Order is open only to women; no new appointments were made after the Partition of India in 1947
