The set appears to be the package of official letters, forms, informational sheets, and the 10 June 1983 supplemental issue of the London Gazette listing all the new recipients of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

Each document is in excellent condition and would make an exciting addition to a collector's display of this order, providing a glimpse into the pomp and circumstance accompanying such events.

The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is an order of chivalry, instituted in 1917 by King George V, and awarded for distinguished service to the government in a wide range of useful activities. The order was established in five classes, and had the Military and Civil Division, the visual distinction of the military division being the red stripe running down the middle of the ribbon. In 1936, the design was updated, replacing the image of Britannia with the profiles of the king and queen.
