Crest of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) , the Scorpions, British Army in WW II

This is a recognition plaque made of the  crest of the   Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) , the Scorpions. The LRDG was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War. The LRDG was formed specifically to carry out deep penetration, covert reconnaissance patrols and intelligence missions from behind Italian lines in northern Africa, although they sometimes engaged in combat operations. Because the LRDG were experts in desert navigation, they were sometimes assigned to guide other units, including the Special Air Service and secret agents across the desert. This plaque is an accurate 2.5-D raised multi-level relief carving of its crest, made from High-Density-Urethane (HDU), a synthetic wood material used extensively by the sign industry for carved signs. This plaque is artist-painted with long-lasting metallic brass and black sign enamels, The plaque is  clear-coated twice. It is suitable for both inside and outside locations. It can be ordered in any size from 10 inches to 96 inches in diameter.
