Does anyone have a reference to the badge used by John Ogier's 1961-62 Essex Racing Stable team?

In this earlier thread Alan Cox posted a photo of the badge:

Here is one of the shots which Bjorn kindly forwarded clearly illustrating the Essex Racing Stable badge. I have to say that it is the first time I have ever seen it illustrated.

I can no longer see Photobucket photos but I gather some people still can. Perhaps Alan or someone with Photobucket access might be persuaded to repost the photo?

A quick google reveals that the three scimitars are the logo of Essex county council  (and also, strangely, Middlesex when a crown is added) although there were not many scimitars to be seen when I lived in that part of the world.

If you heathens followed cricket, you'd know that.      :rotfl:

Here in the Kingdom of the East Saxons we call them seaxes, not scimitars and certainly not cutlasses... :cool:
