Any other details anyone can provide if it is for the 1st VB RF would be appreciated, regards Dean.

Dean, ref the badge colour: You might find that the WM badge you have shown looks more like GM/brass (at least to my eyes it does) due to the red in the background being absorbed. I tried out a few experiments using various coloured backgrounds and found that black velvet seems to high light WM/silver/silvered badges better (or at least the image colour more closely resembles the badge colour), whereas a dark (i.e. Royal) blue seems to emphasise silver/gilt badges. Nice badge by the way.
