[Bell Historians] An Enquiry

[Allan Yalden]

I am certain that the crown engraved on the bell pictured is post 1952  
and is for our Queen Elizabeth  given that in military insignia the  
crown shape changes according to the gender of the monarch

Crowns

Many badges feature crowns and these can be a useful guide to  
identifying and dating badges.

Key dates are 1901 and 1952 as the shape of crowns on badges changed.  
(It may help to think of male and female crowns).  Not all badges have  
crowns,
