Default Metropolitan Police- Headress Badge
Could any Forumite please advise me when the Metropolitan Police (London) adopted the small chrome King's Crown cap badge for the flat cap which eventually replaced the Helmet and plate ?

Can't give you an actual date I'm afraid but these were certainly worn with a GRV cipher.
