  1. Knights (KSCA): Swears fealty to the crown, wears a white belt and chain.
  2. Master of Arms (MSCA): Is not required to swear fealty to the crown, wears a white baldric.
has never made a Master of Arms, all our homegrown chivalry have chosen the Knightly path.

Tradition holds that knights may wear spurs at all times and non-knights may only wear spurs when participating in equestrian activities. The spur is not a reserved charge however. Anyone may include a spur in their registered armory.
