18th Century Machete ?

Hi Mark,

Yes, this is a big subject and I'm still puzzling over some of your comments about GR in your previous post - I need to sit down and have a closer look at Gilkerson. Perhaps we should start a new thread for the cyphers as in later years it may be hard to find under 'Machete'!
A collection of pictures of royal cyphers would be very useful and as a relatively new collector I certainly have some questions about the crowns.
I did not know for example that the ring underneath sometimes indicated a tilted crown - thanks for that.
I also do not know how to tell male or female crowns apart but I have heard it mentioned.

For what it's worth, don't forget George I, II and III were also the Kings of Hanover.
Regards
Richard
