Hello, I wanted to know if anyone has a better quality photograph of this shield from an old Royal Imperial bicycle. Thank you very much

Hercules did a machine termed Royal Imperial

is the subject cycle a Hercules product?

Hard to say.
There is no information seemingly available anywhere in the UK on the many and various 'export only' models/marques produced by Hercules over the years.
It certainly looks like some of their American style offerings.

There's some catalog pictures in this thread, unfortunately no picture of the decal:

Well you have seen the images from my thread. I don't have any better transfers than what are on the bike but I could get better images if you'd like. Maybe check the source mentioned in post #12 of the linked thread. Curious if you have similar machine?

Yep, 1939. A big plus is the 1930s-1940s AW hubs take threaded track cogs rather than the three pip and snap ring Shimano style cogs. How do I go about getting the cog off? The snap rings are a pain but easy to comprehend. Trying to figure out this threaded cog. Any help would be greatly...

Thank you all for your answers, I have got a Royal Imperial frame, I have also got old side decals, but I can't get a picture of the front shield to be able to make a good quality decal.
Thanks again everyone.
