Default CMGBn ?

Greetings Gents,

A friend of mine has this badge, although they are not a Forum member I wanted to run this by you for opinions ?


Whilst browsing the CEF project here on the Forum we spotted a similar badge listed as CMGBn Type 4:

http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/can...e/cef_31_4.htm

..although the badge shown with the full width scroll appears to be cast, with a second badge with a shorter scroll. Babin 31-4 shows the badge as having a full width scroll, however they are just sketches/line drawings!

Could this be an actual example of 31-4 and if so would the project team wish to use the image?

Cheers,

Roy (on behalf of a friend).

Hi Jo,

Thanks for that.

Doesn't this image show an OSD collar which is different and not the same as the one shown?

Cheers,

Roy

Hi Roy, I don't know if Larry has that image yet. We can use it. Either email me or Larry with the files. Thanks.

Hi Bill,

Will these photos do or do you need a specific background etc.

Or will you just photoshop it yourself?

Cheerio,

Roy

Larry likes very high resolution images. Perhaps the best thing to do is email him.
