doh!
Just out of interest I always seem to have difficulty deciphering between the 2 kings crowns. Is there a way of telling the difference they seem very similar to an untrained eye such as mine. I bought it ages ago as just like it so much. |

There is only one King's Crown.

Oh right well that would explain why I can’t tell the difference again maybe a very silly question how can you tell what era some of the badges are from? I mean with some of the sweetheart badges if silver you have the hallmark to date it and of course Gv or GVI on some are a bit of a give away. But out side of that how can you tell?

By comparing the sweetheart badge's design to the actual military badge and its date of introduction. This tank unit's name went from Tank Corps (1917) to Royal Tank Corps (1923) to Royal Tank Regiment (1939) with changes in badge design to match.
