Dear Alf, Very impressive set of Royal Cyphers and eyecatching. I have always had an interest in Royal Cyphers and about three years ago designed this one to go with the change of police uniforms and pillar boxes and share it with you if you don't mind.

Your Victoria cypher is the imperial one with an added "I" at the end, the usual british one would have been "VR" without the additional "I", so this one looks a bit of an odd one out in the collection?

Rgds,

Thomas.

Yes indeed, Thomas. I would like to have a VR cypher in my collection, but alas, they are so very hard to come by.

Does anyone have the William IV or earlier cyphers in their collection?
