Default 6 Bn Cornwall Homeguard Insignia

I am having a senior moment - I want to see what the 6th Bn Cornwall Homeguard looks like but all my searches have failed.

Can anyone point me to the right spot please?

Is there an album of Homeguard wearing insignia anywhere?

Many thanks

I don't have an image but the sign is described by John Waring (JW2/E8) as "6th Battalion, Cornwall Home Guard. Yellow balls on black shield, Black numeral (6), on Khaki (square) background. Printed."

Military Insignia of Cornwall illustrates and describes all of the Cornwall Home Guard badges. I have seen a few complete framed collections of these badges over the years, which are very rare, but have only ever managed to get a few examples of indiviudual badges. An unused pile of the 8th (Lizard) Battalion badges turned up in a market in Devon a few years ago, but they were soon dispersed among collectors.
