A "Lessor George" was the depiction of St. George slaying the dragon that hangs from the Garter sash at the hip.
The "Greater George" is the St George medallion that hangs from the Garter chain - often enameled and bejeweled (as is this one!).
This would be a mighty impressive Lessor George and if so, I would like to see the accompanying Greater George.
The fact that the RC also says that it is a "collar badge" leaves me to believe that it really is a Greater George.
Cheers!
