Arrow mark.

For 'Macro Mondays' theme Arrow.

1944 government issue spirit level.

The broad arrow mark was first used in 1544 by 'The Office of Ordinance' created by Henry VIII. Became 'Board of Ordinance' in 1597. Used at first to signify objects purchased from the monarchs money.

Now used as a government marking on anything of an 'Attractive Nature', to help prevent stealing. Whoops!
