Royal Coat of Arms unknown
Can anybody offer up anything on these 2 Royal Coat of Arms ?
The larger one is 90mm x 85mm The smaller one is 80mm x 80mm Both are made of brass Both have 3 lugs,although 1 is missing from the larger item. The smaller one looks as if it may have been pinned to something as.there appears to be 4 small holes where the rust marks are. |

Larger badge looks like Arms of a Royal Princess
Sometimes with Royal Patronage, large Arms plates/badges are found especially on safes GTB Last edited by GTB; 09-08-20 at 09:30 AM. Reason: additional info |

The right one looks like the Military Provost Staff home service helmet plate

Yes.
It is a very similar plate to the one I have, there are a couple of differences, like the Lion's tale and mine is slightly larger at H 95mm x W 85mm. The 3 lugs suggest a helmet plate and I can't find any other Corps or regiment who wore this pattern. Is it cast or struck, it may be for the Provost corps, but for something else like a pouch ? Neil. |

All of the coat of arms differ slightly aswell, but I think the nearest to Mike's is the Provost's. I wondered if it was cast because of the slightly smaller size. Neil. |

The larger one the lions,thistle and harp are on a diamond shape whereas the small is on a shield type device. I presume that would denote a different regt or corps. |

I don't think the larger plate is military, the lugs don't appear to be original to the plate and it is an unknown pattern.
As GTB mentioned, possibly a safe. The smaller plate, while there are differences, until something more concrete is offered, I would say it's Provost Staff. Neil. |
