To all and singular unto whom these presents shall come, We, King's name , by right of arms, and Queen's name , by favor of love, King and Queen of Caid, send good greeting. In recognition of the valor at arms and courtoisie of spirit shown by Our good subject Name, it is Our prerogative as monarchs to elevate him/her to the Order of the Gauntlet of Caid for his/her greater honor. By this Grant We do affirm his/her sole and exclusive right to bear the arms Blazon . And as cognizance of Our esteem, We grant him/her the privilege of showing as achievement the token of the Order, which is a blue medallion bearing a gauntlet grasping the blade of a sword within a bordure embattled, all of silver, pendant from a blue ribbon surrounding the shield; the whole surmounted by {a steel-grey helmet}/{an ancient coronet Or} with mantling/ribands color  doubled metal {as is more plainly shown in the margin}. This have We done this date day of month, Anno Societatis SCA year, which is AD year in the common reckoning. In testimony whereof We here set Our hand and affix the Great Seal of Caid. So also does Crescent Herald of Caid attest by seal and signature to the validity of the name and armoury herein.
