The mace dates from about the same time as the Stratford mace. It has both the royal coat of arms and the Commonwealth arms engraved on the plate at the end. During the Civil War the Commonwealth arms were engraved and put uppermost by a supporter of the Parliamentarian cause, and most likely reversed again on the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
