I have often wondered about Elliot dates and production. I have a few with no royal warrant and one with a WR royal warrant and I have always wondered why they were not all produced with the warrant. It seems clear that in the middle somewhere there were many with no warrant. Did Elliot have a warrant and loose it and then get it back or is there some reason they would have a royal warrant and not mark it on their products.
