Default HMC Dockyard badge ID

Many years ago I bought this "HMC Dockyard Watchman" breast badge marked JR Gaunt/Montreal/Made in England. I had always assumed the "C" stood for Canadian but would like to confirm/correct that as I will be offering it for swap or sale shortly, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Graham

Default HMC Dockyard Watchman's Badge

Hi Graham, Yes this is 'His Majesties Canadian Dockyard' as it displays a Kings Crown. Could be Halifax or Esquimalt. Hope this may be of help.
Harry.
