Description from the seller

Complete Regalia Set for Royal Arch Masonry & Odd Fellows – W. Bro. Geoffrey L. Lea – England – 1960s/1970s

Superb and rare complete regalia set for Freemasonry and fraternal orders, originating from England, belonging to W. Bro. Geoffrey L. Lea, a high-ranking member and former ceremonial officer.
This coherent ensemble includes elements from Royal Arch Masonry (high rank within Freemasonry) as well as the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows fraternal order, reflecting a rich and well-documented initiatory journey.
The presence of official documents, including the Grand Chapter Royal Arch regulations and lodge archives (Glenwood Lodge No. 6573), allows precise identification of the owner’s context and membership.
The regalia include several richly embroidered ceremonial collars, medals and metal insignia, as well as various textile elements coded according to grades and roles. The set is preserved in its original leather case bearing the owner’s initials.
A genuine collectible item rich in history, ideal for collectors of Freemasonry, fraternal orders, or British ritual objects.
