Description: | Copper alloy brooch in the form of a shield with two concave sections to the top. The face of the shield is bordered with a pair of incised lines, enclosing three cannons facing left, with a double line above enclosing three cannon balls face on. There is a catchplate and a lug for a hinged pin on the reverse. The badge is of the Office of Ordnance. With the development of the cannon an Office of Ordnance - later, the Board of Ordnance - was set up in Gundulph's Tower in London to control the King's cannon, arsenals and fortifications. This was set up in the 15th century and abolished in 1856 | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1750
