Dave I will re-photograph my WM badges on black velvet as on review they do look GM - I will put both the KC and QVC WM versions alongside it with a nice Edwardian KC GM and see how the colours come out.
Thanks again to all, Dean.

Dean, Here are two examples of a NF WM furcap with a black and a red background. Had I taken the pic against a lot of red (i.e. had it been fretted/voided etc), the red would have saturated the badge a lot. The black background comes out much better - for WM or silver/silvered badges. A very dark (which I use a lot in my album) blue seems perfect, but needs a morning (here) cloudy sky - which isn't apparent at the moment....
Of course the old patina on the badge also helps.... Hope this helps.
Well the sun 'went away' so here is the same badge on a blue background.
