It is a rite of passage to have taken the Oath of Allegiance, and only those who have served their country are entitled to own one. To have taken the Oath to your Sovereign and swear to defend your country makes serving personnel and Military Veterans part of a very unique group. Queen Elizabeth was not only our boss, she was the peoples Queen.
What better way is there for you to remember her and those words your swore. Our beautiful framed Oath of Allegiance are all made by veterans, here in our trench in Consett Co Durham. What you did was forever and your Oath hanging on a wall will show those who follow why it means so much to you. Memories fade like the medal ribbons we wear, but our Oath is forever.
Each Oath is handmade using the name and enlistment details you provide. With crisp, clear print on specialist high-quality textured paper, we insert your choice of name and enlistment details to make the Oath truly personal to you or the recipient of the gift. This is finished off with one of our very own cast cap badges (Or a printed one if that's what you'd prefer) , a gleaming, hand-polished coin and the stable belt colours. Each Oath is completed with our favourite photograph of Her Majesty and her official title. The overall size is 36cm x 37cm.
The Oath of Allegiance and the Sovereign's Shilling
Our original, personalised Oath of Allegiance with Sovereign's Shilling is a beautiful, quality gift or keepsake for any former or still serving sailor, soldier or airman. It is a perfect way to mark a new member of the military family's passing-out ceremony or as a leaving or dining-out gift. The Sovereign's shilling, sometimes called the King or Queen's shilling, is an historical slang term referring to the payment of one shilling given to recruits to the Armed forces of the UK in the 18th and 19th centuries, although the practice dates back to the end of the English Civil War. To "take the shilling" was to agree to serve as a sailor or soldier in the Royal Navy or the British Army and the term is still used informally. Bearing a genuine coin to represent the "Queen's shilling" and a stylish reproduction of the words spoken on enlistment, each Oath is hand made by ex- service personnel so we can guarantee it is made with real pride and passion and a genuine understanding of what it means to say those words and to serve your country.
