John Tegtmeier, recently questioned the L2.5 from Ranachqua Lodge as described in the Blue Book as he had a variant. While I had the L2.5, I guess I never sent a scan along to John Pannell (since remedied). You can see it pictured below.
John advised, that his was on green leather(?) and provided the following scan.
As you can see, not only is the background different, but the detail is all in red.
The Blue Book description would be:
L2.6 – – GRN – – RED 50 Years of Cheerful Service 1920-1970. Neckerchief Slide
