Hi, mon ami
The emblem is part of the PE gun upscale kit from Drydock. If I remember, the kits are in 5 different scales, and each kit has parts for 4 guns. I made i review some time ago.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Thanks, Jim! I was looking for just the emblems but I'll check it out. Maybe the full accessories sheet will be helpful compared to my current plan...Hi, mon ami

The set is nice and has most parts to upscale the kit's provided cannons (usually missing)The only caveat is that I am not thrilled with the provided hooks, but, DryDock told me they revisited the hook design. Maybe get a sample to have an idea if it will fit in your plan.

Probably just me, but I scoured their website but cannot find any details on the cyphers/monograms. I am anxious to see which monogram designs they offer besides the George I if you or someone can steer me.
Regarding the cannon themselves, do you or does anyone here know if there are any aftermarket suppliers that offer accurate versions of the seven various English pattern guns from the Pitt and Brown pattern to the Blomefields in metal? They are readily available as 3D resin printed, but metal cannon seem to include only a couple choices and very few are accurate renditions. Even if only the five patterns from the 18th century were available in brass or good quality cast metal it would be a big plus.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe I am not a designer, this insignia was designed based on George II 1727-1760 years. At least it looks pretty similar to me. The George III 1760 - 1820 monogram has a different crown design. I don't think they offered other insignias. This monograph is part of the upscale kit for an English (Brit) cannon.Jim

As for the barrels, I found HISModels (Radek) has pretty accurate CNC-turned barrels. Some of the barrels are designed specifically for the available kits, based on the available documentation. I have used their barrels in the past and can affirm the quality.
To answer your question about the seven English versions in brass, I am not sure you will find one. I mean, you can custom request, and someone will cast or turn them for you per your specs and requirements. I don't see it as profitable to keep 7 various designs and the main question is what scale to keep stock of? How many of us need them?
3D printing can offer as much flexibility as you need (assuming you have a decent-quality printer, and know how to design). In a few minutes and a couple of mouse clicks, you can change the entire pattern and scale, and ....you guessed it right, it is ready to print!
I am wondering if I can recognize the material in a 'blight test' assuming they were finished the same: same paint and varnish. Just visually!!

Where can a person in US find source for ceramic plate, steel pins and hold downs for soldering with torch.
The ones from German company are great, but they don't ship to USA.

:Thanks for your reply Jim!
The barrels from HISModels look very well done but the website only shows one pattern which matches drawings for the Borgard cannon.
I agree with you if the barrels are checked only visually any viewer would likely be unable to tell a metal barrel from a 3D resin printed barrel if the color is right. For now I will stick with the 3D black or bronze resin printed barrels as there are over 100 choices in British patterns. lengths and calibers as well as some 18th century Spanish cannon as well.
Thanks again

You are most welcome. I cannot foresee aftermarket barrels for all countries and all periods from all designers unless it will be 3D printing. With this technology, it should be your best bet, and shouldn't be expensive compared to the CNC brass. Kris @SZKUTNIK can design and print any gun barrels, in most scales, except 1:1
