Coat of Arms
Comment: Two main varieties exist, the GNRI (shown
at top of page) and the GNRB (shown above). Within these
varieties there are differences in size and in the colour
of the garter. As far as size is concerned, there seem
basically to be a large (variously described in auction
catalogues [no. of occurrences recorded] as loco [1GNRB,
1GNRI turquoise], tender [2GNRI], large [1GNRI,1GNRB] ) and
small (described as such at auctions 5 [4GNRI, 1GNRB]
times). Remaining appearances are either, not stated
[11GNRI], or GNRI blue garter 30 cms [SRA 692]. The latter,
if the diameter of the transfer rather than the board,
would suggest that, in addition to the large [45.5] and the
small [20.5], there is one somewhere in between. On the
colour of the garter, there are dark blue and turquoise
varieties, seemingly, of each. I have a dark blue 45cm GNRI
(the mate of the turquoise loco?), a dark blue 20cm GNRB,
and a turquoise 20cm GNRI. A tentative classification might
be:
I20T: Small GNRI turquoise - quite common;
I20B: Small GNRI dark blue - to be proved;
B20T: Small GNRB turquoise - quite common;
B20B: Small GNRB dark blue - to be proved;
I30B: Medium GNRI dark blue - to be checked;
I45T: Large GNRI turquoise - exists;
I45B: Large GNRI dark blue - exists;
B45T: Large GNRB turquoise - to be proved;
B45B: Large GNRB dark blue - to be proved.
