Perfect! That is nice! The close T, the concave D that does not look like this "D" and, the spacing of the ribbon. Seeing it in the Red Book is one thing but this picture really helps. Thank you!

I have always felt the easiest way to tell the difference between the LM and SM examples is by looking at the "U" in TRUST. On the small motto, it's practically square. On the large motto, it's tall and narrow. It's pretty obvious regardless of how worn it might be.

The D in GOD was always a good indicator for me. Just kinda "floats" there.

If I can't see a motto and have to resort to berries I'm not all that interested.
