Marshall Britannia Emblem
 
Looking to buy a Marshall Britannia Emblem to complete the restoration of my Marshall Roller, does anyone have one for sale or know of any likely sources?

What kind of Marshall roller?

I got a copy from Dave Ragsdale for my S type. It wasn't really shaped well enough to fit the headstock, but some gentle persuasion and some heat got it fairly close.

A good point 8_10, the difference is quite noticable. I have been told that the type shown your photo is made in cast iron, not sure if I will ever find one as the pictured example is the only one ive ever seen.
Thanks for any leads on this, if I could find one to make a mould casting a replacement will be easy.

Just for the record the chap who owns the example in the picture wont help,:(

Would you like me to engage the services of some of the local youths?

Was there one on the other ex Bomford Marshall?
