Knighthood

Achievement: Silver or white helmet (may be garnished in gold), torse, and mantling, with a gold chain either encircling the shield or around the neck of the helmet.

Alternatives: An encircling white belt may be substituted for the gold chain. This is mandatory for a Master of Arms, as he doesn't wear a chain.

Optional: A crest (if the recipient has a suitable badge registered), supporters, compartment, and motto.
