Chirurgeon's Regalia
The badge of the Office of the Chirurgeon, registered in January of 1992, is blazoned: "Gules, on a goutte argent a fleam gules." As the Chirurgeonate operates as a guild, Chirurgeon's are designated by one of three ranks; Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. There is also a fourth honorary rank of Chirurgeon Emeritus.
The Chirurgeon's Handbook identifies the type of badge, favor or token bearing the badge of the Chirurgeonate that each rank of chirurgeon may wear, and under what circumstances they should be worn.
These badges are:
| Chirurgeon-in-Training |
|
"While on duty during the observation period, a
Chirurgeon-in-Training may wear a badge, favor or token bearing
the badge of the Chirurgeonate with no border." |
| Chirurgeon |
|
"The Chirurgeon may display the Chirurgeon badge on
a baldric or tabard with a white border" |
| Mentor Chirurgeon |
|
"Mentor Chirurgeons may display the Chirurgeon emblem with a
gold or yellow bordure on the baldric, tabard, or favor." |
| Chirurgeon Emeritus |
|
"Chirurgeon Emeriti may display a badge as registered by the
Chirurgeon General with the College of Heralds." |
