Partial post and some removals from my site

Hello, all.

First, due to server constraints, I removed the "Lordziba" and "Mashriq Jadid" folders. I will be happy to repost and/or send emails (Z- you're covered).

Second, I have made a partial post for Concordia -- the officer insignias. I am still tweeking the enlisted insignias. Will post the rest this weekend.

Enjoy,
Erskine

Very nice, I like how you used the Canadian maple leafs for the general ranks. I assume the top row is ment to be worn on the collars?

Yes, the top row is the collar pin and the bottom is the soft slide.

The compromise you made between the US "silver over gold" and the more traditional "gold over silver" in the officer grades was quite clever.

ERSKINE: When the Army of the United States was in their infancy, they wore silver epaulettes plain for 2nd Lieutenant, a gold bar added for a 1st Lieutenant, and two gold bars for Captain. Majors were created and given a gold leaf also. Colonel's eagles and General's stars were silver, thus silver outranked gold and when they added Lieutenant Colonel, they gave them a silver leaf. I believe in Europe gold outranks silver? Sarge Booker :) :) :)
