What is your reference that the crown mark on the razor with the monarch's initials indicates a royal warrant?
In the 'Standard Guide to Razors' by Roy Richie & Ron Stewart it states markers started adding the sign of the monarch on the razors and gives examples of each. The mark can obviously be used to help date the razor.
I can find no record of a royal warrant being granted to Joseph Elliot. Joseph Rogers for instance did have a royal warrant. It's first was granted by King George IV in 1822 and stamped on their blades is something like 'Cutlers to their majesties'.
