I believe that while beaded OA sashes are unofficial, if with the approval of the Lodge Adviser beaded OA sashes can be worn with ceremony regalia when around strictly OA members so as to not disclose, through beading any secrets of our order. I also believe that if the individual is in a renactment of a ceremony like I witnesed at a section conclave that the people in the ceremony should wear accurate sashes for that time period.
