Default Large QVC ?
Hi guys , Can anybody help me with this ? I know "DIEU ET MON DROIT" is a royal motto?

Also I am pretty sure this is a Queen Victoria Crown on the top ?

There are no fixtures to the back and does not look like there ever have been.

As you may or may not know I trade rather than collect

Any help as always is so much appreciated.

Steve,

Its the Queen Victorian Royal Arms.

Its not a military badge.

This type of badge can be found on a large range of items such as safes, wall plaques etc etc.

regards

The diamond shape of the shield is used by unmarried women.

That would date the badge to between 1837 and 1840 when Queen Victoria married.

Correct, before 1837 a different crown would have been used.

It is I believe it is the Royal Arms of the 'Princess Royal' the eldest daughter of the monarch and only one may be named at any one time.

What we call Queen Victories Crown is in fact Saint Edwards Crown dating back to King Charles II and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 and used as a uniform device from the reign of King George III

Could be Charlotte, Princess Royal (1789-1828) eldest daughter of King Edward III or Victoria, Princess Royal (1841 - 1901) eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, as Queen Victoria never held the title as she was only the niece of George III

The crown, or more corectly the coronet, of sons and daughters or brothers and sisters of the sovereign is archless, except for the coronet of the prince of Wales has just asingle arch. The crown in the badge in this thread is definately the reigning monarch's crown.

Rgds, Thomas.
