This enamelled pin belonged to my father, John McGinnis Williams.

The crown is a St. Edward's crown (introduced in 1953), while the image at the top of the page shows the old Tudor crown, based on an image from Album des Pavillions Nationaux, 1923. Checking the Facebook page for the club, they appear to have reverted to the Tudor crown. (https://www.facebook.com/rsays1)
