Hello GTB

I agree that the cypher is not the best I've ever seen - on a sword or button for that matter!

I compared the one in the photo here with other examples and George IV seems to be the closest match. All those of William IV that I could find (not that many I must admit) had a fairly clear 'W' visible. I thought I could just about make out a 'GR' reversed and entwined on the one here but can see no 'W' at all.

Must get my eyes tested again - booked in next week as it happens!!

Roger
