Is there any way of dating these decorations? WW1, WW2, modern (Queens Crown?), Victoria,  Edward VII., George V., George VI ? - apart from apparent aging?

The only way to date them as far as I know is by the crowns, apart from the  Order of St John which has no crown, in which case you need to work it out by the style of manufacture or if it is part of a larger group. I have a good book in the shop which goes into more details and perhaps may explain other ways to date them but as we are in lockdown I can't access it at the moment.

You can't even go to your own shop, alone?

I go into the shop every ten days to make sure everything is OK,  do the mail etc. We should be reopening on April the 27th all going well.

Proposal for "5 day lockdown over Easter plan" has now been dropped by Chancellor Merkel. We will have to wait and see how things "develop"
