This silk is not listed by Godden, although he does record the three individual silks which make up the badge.

Godden, in recording the Register entries, does not record this registration.
The three silks which make up the badge though were registered individually on 7 January, 9 January and 27 January 1864.

It should be noted the silk above has a circular design at the very top, and the outer border is itself ornate with circles.
There is an almost identical silk, recorded as omu 14; the differences being there is a double leaf design at the very top, and the outer border is plain.
