Inch said:The crowns don't always change. Here's the 1st Hussars capbadge with none of the 4 crowns shown in M O'Leary's link.
That's what I meant when I said "coronet".

Old Sweat said:The Master Gunner can probably correct me, but the crest on the barrels signifies that it has been accepted into service. One of the first things we did when we took delivery of both the M109s and L5s was to etch the cypher on each piece after it was test fired. I believe there is an EME instruction that outlines the procedure. As a mark of acceptance into service, it need not be changed, and frankly I can not imagine how it could be.

thorbahn said:I was going by what my BC (Bty Commander) talked to us about last Parade night. He said that when the new monarch takes over, all the new barrels for the guns that are made will have the new cypher. Before long the old barrel comes off and the new one takes it's place.
CFN. Orange said:The entire EME branch would have to change cap badges, buttons on Deus, collar dogs and lappel pins.
a_majoor said:What would really throw things in a tail spin is the fact that Charles will be likely be king for a short period of time before William acsends the throne (This is a bit like Prince Edward being King for a few short years after Victoria's death).
After the mad dash to determine the "proper" crown and get CIIIR on everything, we will have to scrape off the paint, pull out the sewing kits and do it all over again for HRH William III....
When, in 1893, Queen Victoria conferred the title â Å“Royalâ ? on the artillery in Canada, the
honour included the right to engrave on artillery equipment the Imperial Cypher VRI surmounted
by the Imperial Crown. The honour is perpetuated today by inscribing the Royal Cypher of the
reigning monarch on each artillery piece
Instructions concerning the application of the Royal Cypher are found in Canadian
Forces Technical Order (CFTO) C-71-010-021/MN 000.

Gunnar said:Actually, you can refer to Dukes or Duchesses as "His Grace" or "Her Grace". I believe there are few level-specific titles lower than that....
