           HISTORY OF THE BADGE :

         The same badge of Barbados with Vicky, redezigned in a very slight variant in 1955.    -    Document from 1955.

                  Another version of the great seal with King George 6 appeared on the following 1938 stamp.    -    No great seal created in Barbados neither for Edward 7 nor Edward 8.

                  The simple postal stamp of Barbados was replaced by a postage-&-revenue stamp in the period 1925-1935, still with King George 5.

                  Yet, the old tradition of displayin monarchs was maintained. This stamp dates from 1921, featurin King George 5 in the same style as George 3 or Charles 2.

                  Detail of the badge of Barbados, drawn in 1870, with Queen Victoria. It's not "Britannia" : it's Vicky !!!!!    -    This document dates from 1915.

                  A new version of the great seal with Queen Victoria on a 1899 stamp (part of set 1892-1903). Notice the queen is standing on a shell while the kings are always seated on a chariot.

                  A penny was minted in 1792, keepin the very same style, but featurin King George 3. Notice that, in 1792, ther is still NO badge for Barbados.

                  Seal created in 1680 show King William 3 seated side by side with Queen Mary 2 standing. Maybe this explain why all kings are drawn seated while Vicky is standing....

                  A great seal was created for Barbados in 1663, featurin King Charles 2, in the style of Neptune (trident), riding in a chariot drawn by two sea horses, wearing his royal robes & crown.

              The Latin motto "ET PENITVS TOTO REGNANTES ORBE BRITANNOS" can be translated by "AND THE BRITISH RULING THE WHOLE WORLD".    Wot a shit program !!!!
