BRitish Petroleum Tankers Cap Badges

[sailorbear]

Hi all, can anyone tell me why the difference between the two pictured cap badges , Both are BP but one has a lion instead of a crown? Does anyone know at what times in history the respective badges would have been worn?

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony

The one with the lion is 1926-1952
The one with the crown is 1952-

Hope this helps
