Not sure without seeing the mark - but it sounds as if you might be describing a proof mark, rather than a maker's mark. The standard proof mark for black powder shotguns made in Britain and proofed at Birmingham featured crossed somethings (I'm not sure they're swords, but they look something like swords) with a crown at the top between the ends. As a standard shotgun proof mark it should have the letters B P C between the crossed items, in the gaps other than the one with the crown. This mark also appears just with a V opposite the crown, as a view mark, indicating the gun was inspected at the Birmingham proof house.

What is a military badge that has a crown in the center and 2 diagonal swords It is a soft metal that looks like brass and has 4 main segments shaped like a cross with 3 points on each segment?

Segments? What do you mean by Segments? Is it shaped like a Cross (+)? Or is it shaped like a Sun Burst with Rays radiating out from the center? Need more description. Size? Badge with Cross and Crossed Swords can fit several different things. Polishregimental badges prior to WW2 used the Maltese Cross symbol and many had swords---but not many had Crowns. It could possibly be a Medal issued by a country. Germany's Spanish Cross was a Maltese Cross that came in two versions; one with crossed swords and one without. But these had an Eagle and Swastika between each "arm" of the cross. No Crown. The size might help. The British wore a collar insignia ("collar dog") that was a miniature variant of their Cap Badge. They were different in many cases and there may be such a badge for this purpose. Also, the position of the Crown would be helpful: most British badges had the Crown resting on top of the badge.

Who has a regimental cap badge with a crown at the top 2 crossed swords in the middle on a circular solid badge from ww1 is it gloucestershire.how can i find a picture?

The Gloucestershire Regiment's cap badge was a Sphinx image sitting on a battle honor EGYPT with a wreath below and the name of the regiment.But the cap badge I found for it was not as you describe at all.There was also a Gloucestershire Yoemanry Regiment that was also known as Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. But the cap badge I found for it was not as you describe at all.I thought maybe the badge you had was a collar device. But again, the Gloucestershire Regiment wore a small Sphinx on their collar.The badge for the Army Personal Training Corps during WW2 was simply crossed swords with a crown mounted above where they crossed.I can't find such a badge. However, during WW1 the British had many different regiments and yeomanry units that only existed for that war.Oh wait! Sometimes cap badges had a backing that was used to attach it. These backings were large round discs. Was the badge you saw attached to a hat? If it was lying by itself, then maybe the circular disc was some type of back plate.+++++++++++I found it!!WW1 Overseas Bronze Badge - Round badge with crossed swords with a wreath around outer edge. Crossed swords in the center with a Crown above them and a 5-pointed Star below it. Across the front is a scroll that reads "OVERSEAS SERVICE". The back is solid with a British style safety pin clasp.I found this on the eBay store of my favorite and most knowledgeable sellers of British and Canadian cap badges. He has one for sale with a PHOTO; list price $25(USD). His ebay seller name is ArticMedals. I'm sure he can explain what this purpose of this badge and maybe know where it was worn. This is not a Cap Badge.Steve, aka Custermen

How much is a 1750 five crown coin worth which has 4 crowns on one side with a stylized pattern on it on the other side one crown above two crossed arrows and the 1750?

The Brits have never minted a Five Crown coin, and I can find no record of a coin without the monarch on one side or, with crossed arrows, especially in 1750. You may have a medallion or a medalette. A reputable coin dealer may be able to assist with identification and will be able to give a valuation.
