nz2 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Similar to hallmarks, it is currently a criminal offence to reproduce the broad arrow without authority. The Embezzlement of Public Stores Act 1698 in clause 41 makes it illegal to use the "broad arrow / King's mark" on any goods not for His Majesty's government's use. http://www.coffinisland.ca this website deals with glass bottles as used by the navy in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. I'm interested to know if the Broad arrow Act is still in force and otherwise the implications for using it on restored items. The stocks, a hanging and quartering perhaps?
