Dockyard police helmet plate?
I am posting this scan (apologies for terrible state of scan) of what I gather could be a Dockyard Police helmet plate. I suppose the centre would have housed either a small anchor or possibly a numeral.
I also think that the plate originally had a Crown at top centre, as there are indications that something has been removed from there. Would appreciate any information on this piece Thanks GTB |

Thanks, Dave
Actually, it was obtained locally (Malta). I have tried positioning the small wm collar/shoulder anchors in the centre but they are too large and overlap the circumference. These small anchors were worn in Malta as cap badges with a QVC. and later a KC, attached. GTB |

Dockyard Police Helemt plate.
Dear GTB,
Please find attached original image of the generic Dockyard Police helmet plate which I obtained from and ex Bermuda Dockyard Policeman. It was worn in other Naval dockyards and especially Malta. In Bermuda it was worn on a white police helmet. There are two versions, surmounted by either a QV Crown or the Kings Crown. The anchor either has two loops to fit the drilled holes or the centre was solid and the anchor was brazed on. Hope this may be of some help. Harry Wynne |

Thanks, Harry. Most informative.
Can you tell me if the plate is cast or die-struck? GTB |

Dockyard Police Helmet Plate
Dear GTB,
Although it was many years ago, unfortunately to my regret due to circumstances I let the badge go, but I am most certain that it was a beautiful cast badge. I hope that this will help. Harry |
