the Arms of any part of the King's dominions, or any token or insignia so
nearly resembling the Royal Arms or the Arms of any part of the King's

been duly given to use such Arms in or upon such written or printed matter, or
that such use of such Arms has official significance, shall be guilty of an
offence against this Act.
