Thanks for your post....It is strange to have the top cropped off. I’ve been searching for crests, coats of arms for South Australia, Adelaide, and Hindmarsh. Nothing matches what’s on the alleged Australian B.C.
Some info about Adelaide and Hidmarsh coats of arms:[FWIW]
“The City of Adelaide armorial seal was designed by William Wyatt, who met with a terrible death in Waterfall Gully some years ago. He was a son of the late Dr Wyatt, one of the earliest medical men to settle in the colony. William Wyatt, although an excellent artist, had an indifferent knowledge of heraldry, and so made an egregious blunder in designing the seal by putting a red cross over a blue shield - a colour upon a colour - which is in direct opposition to the rules pertaining to heraldry.”
Hindmarsh:
“The town of Hindmarsh has adopted the crest of Rear-Admiral Sir John Hindmarsh who was born in 1786 and entered the navy when only seven years old. He was the first governor of South Australia and was knighted in 1851, received a good service pension and a war medal with seven clasps for the seven actions in which he had been engaged. He died in 1859.”
