I'm hoping that someone would be so kind as to send me a photo of the decal on the rear mudguard of a 1960's era Phillips English 3-speed.

the headbadge says birmingham (original phillips locale) the stickers say Nottingham (raleigh land) these bikes were '61s so they had a mis-match

This badge was on the rear fender of a 1959 Phillips 3-speed. That's before Raleigh took over the company:

And here's my version on a Christmas holiday restoration, a 1955 Phillips ladys sports tourer.
The mudguard/fender is shaped to accept the badge.

Bit faded, indistinct perhaps and not overpainted, but the genuine article.
