The Broad Arrow continued to mark the King's property well into the 19th 
century.  I don't know when (if ever) it ceased being used to mark 
property of the British government.  It appeared on items recovered from 
the Mary Rose, which sank in the mid-16th century, so the Broad Arrow as 
a mark of certain types of official property (at least Royal Navy 
property) is late period for us.  I have a sheave recovered from the HMS 
Invincible (which sank in 1758) which is marked with the broad arrow.

The penalties for being in personal possession of property marked with 
the Broad Arrow were very severe.  I believe it was a capital offense.

  In Service,
