Hello 


You may be able to help me. I am trying to find someone who would know the foundry who made a bell that was found in Northland New Zealand.
For some reason it's claimed it was the Ships bell from the 'Boyd' destroyed in Whangaroa Harbour in 1809, however I feel it is a church bell. 
Links to the two photos are:

There is nothing else on the bell at all, hoping you may recognise the marking or be able to direct me to where a insignia database is.


Many Thanks
Mike Fraser
