Shiny 7th, or Shiny VII?
I am presuming that there was a breakdown in communication somewhere along the line during production of this Player's card:
7th.jpg 7th VII.jpg Could there have ever been such a version of the Shiny 7th's cap badge? Peter. |

Badges on cards
I think that many of the artists who illustrated for the tobacco industry used their imagination and often a fair bit of "licence". This may well have been taken from a stationary crest.

7th London Cigarette Cards
Peter,
Sonofacqms is probably correct and the design is from a crest. Here are scans of two original cards. They are identical although from different series the "blue back" and "brown back". On the card backs is what appears to be a stationery crest with the Roman VII Tim

Phil,
These are from a series of 50 covering the Territorial Force - Infantry and Yeomanry published I think in 1910 - 1911 - but I need to check. The "blue back" and "brown back" are identical content but were issued separately. A near set is here A full set and illustrated here Tim
