The small shield in the middle (known as an escutcheon) is that of Hanover (George was also the "Elector" of Hanover), the thing above the escutcheon is a "bonnet", symbol of an elector. These arms must be dated before 1814 as at that time Hanover became a kingdom and the bonnet was replaced by a crown.<br /><br />(All the above from "Lines of Succession", Maclagan and Louda, Time Warner, 2002, p29)<br /><br />If you find any more heraldry please post it! I will link this to the "Heraldry" community on Google+ if you don't mind. <br /><br />All the best, KarlKarl Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370242292117655879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692250389062665906.post-51969697271898506022013-11-15T08:42:10.796+00:002013-11-15T08:42:10.796+00:00Quite striking!
