Shape of the anchor

Hello User:TRAJAN 117, with all consideration, I guarantee you that I have nothing to do with the reverted edits of User:Wallace CT, but I feel I had to say something. I appreciate your effort of making a cleaner version of my image. But in your image there is an error in the shape of the anchor which has a base that is far too broad. It seems to me that you took the anchor of the Infanteria the Marina badge minus the crossed guns.

However, the Cuerpo General badge had a different shape from the Infanteria the Marina, both during the Republic and during Franco's time. I know this well because I was 19 months in the Infanteria de Marina in Cartagena in the 1970s when they began to change the former badges in favor of the royal badges. Please see this Chapa de gorra de suboficial de la Marina, República for the correct shape of the anchor of the Insignia del Cuerpo General. Here is a medal with the anchor Medalla de la Marina and the gola breastplate of an officer Gola para oficial del Cuerpo General II República. You are welcome to upload a new version of your file after correcting the shape of the anchor. Thanks. Xufanc (talk) 02:15, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

The historically inaccurate image has been repeatedly reverted to by a user despite my efforts. It is beneath me to engage in childish attitudes. I leave at this. For all who will visit this page I want to state the following: The first image is the historically correct one.Xufanc
