It's a badge from a very old motorcycle club that is no longer in
existence , I have researched it on the Internet and there are no
pictures of this badge but my father does have the actual metal badge
which I have attached a picture of. I am just beginning my digitizing
journey and have managed to paste up the artwork for the rest of the
logo but the rifles have got the better of me. The badge needs to fit
in a 100x100 hoop and is being stitched onto left hand side breast of
a fleece top ( sorry that's what they are called in the UK , it's a
soft heavyweight pile fabric jacket, sorry I can't be more specific
but then I have absolutely no idea what a Merino ram is ! lol)The
rifles need to be just silhouettes not detailed. As I said I'm just
beginning with digitizing so any help would be greatly appreciated as
I really want to get this right for a very special mans 80th birthday.
I welcome suggestions and apologise for my lack of knowledge at
requesting digitizing help as this is the first time I have asked.I
would welcome help with either just the rifles or the whole thing.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my request .
