The cypher GRI
The cypher GRI was used by both George V & George VI Medals & Badges, up to Indian independence sign in 1947, but remained a dominion until 1950 and Pakistan remained a dominion until 1956.
I have a Barbados Police Helmet Plate with GRI - No telling if this is GV or GVI - I guess one could say it was a "generic" issue, circa 1910 to 1948. I welcome feedback on the above. Last edited by Britbadge; 05-08-19 at 06:57 PM. |

If the G and R are intertwined at the top its George V if they are just touching it's George VI

What about the GRI under some East African Badges, such as Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika...Neither touching nor intertwined.

GRI Cypher
Point taken. Here are two examples.
Thank you for your response. |

I would say they’re GvR cypher as his was usually more curly, especially on the G it loops over itself. GviR is a bit sharper and ‘Art Deco’ like.

Cypher
Okay, if the G & R are intertwined at the top = GV, and if the G & R are just touching at the to = G VI.
What about this one??? Not trying to be difficult, just trying to get a grip on this |
