Rekon your photos improved it…

The MOD badge doesn’t look like a total after thought at all…
Nor would the whole thing have been improved if they’d used the proper heraldic badge instead of the styleised, corporate brand image.
It might look better with the title or any other text in red… But I suppose it does fairly match a military warrant in that regard.
The solution for anyone wanting to frame it would be mount board… Add some colour that way.

Decent paper stock might have improved it. It doesn’t look high quality.
Looks like it was styled to be a close (ish) copy of a non cadet forces one…
Looks like you’re right from the picture ,definitely spruces it up a bit!
Ask Proffessor Google for some history bits yesterday for a Cadet History project and in amongst the related topics came across this. Wonder if we still have any one serving with us who holds one.
Issued 1962…
So assuming they were 21, they would have to be in their early 80s…
Wonder how hold the oldest WO still in uniform is?
Wonder when they stopped issuing those?
I got one in the early 90s
We’ve always been getting Warrants, though the design and signatory has changed a little over the years.
Here’s mine from 2014:
What was particularly frustrating is that, by that time, the title had already been changed to “Warrant Officer (ATC)” but they still sent out Warrants with the old ‘primary school’ rank title.
The difference now is that the new Warrants are from the Secretary of State for Defence; as Regular and Reserve Warrants are. We now have a ‘proper’ Cadet Forces Warrant akin to the Queen’s Cadet Forces Commission; rather than simply an internal certificate.
Add the word Cadet in place of Adult and that’s identical to my CWO Warrant from 2003.

Ditto my CI appointment certificate from 2013, albeit with slightly different wording
Well looking at the pictured one from Mr Gormley above, at least this one sounds a little more Legit, have to see what it looks like Framed when it eventualy finds its way from HQAC…
Appears that these have finally started to arrive, did see a Facebook post earlier this with 3 WOs being awarded them, looking at them though theres definatly a need for a good frame and mount if you want to display them
