<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3067923, member: 22729&quot;]That looks to be an inspector&#039;s stamp, Paddy. Like you say, the broad arrow makes it&nbsp; an official government mark. The initials and numbers may be that of the inspector and/or the department he worked in.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;m not sure if a broad arrow always indicated a military stamp, because the symbol was used on all sorts of government property...even on prisoner&#039;s uniforms up until the 1920s or 1930s I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was probably plated and kept as a souvenir. An interesting piece, Paddy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
