A Nurse with a Gun
Probably the neatest bicycle head badge ever designed adorns a British bicycle, the Rudge. I've often wondered whether the outstretched hand is that of a palm reader's customer, that of a policeman, or maybe that of a wheelman. There is an old Rudge three speed up for bids on ebay right now. If I saw it at a garage sale or flea market, I'd venture an offer.

I notice the label says, "Rudge-Whitworth, Ltd."
Does it use the (in)famous Whitworth hardware?
The hand looks like the emblem of the "Orange" men in Ulster
I'd guess the label is from the Red Hand symbol for Ulster (Northern Ireland). Was Rudge built in Ulster?

The Red Hand of Ulster's a paradox quite,
To Baronets 'tis said to belong;
If they use the left hand, they're sure to be right,
And to use the right hand would be wrong.
For the Province, a different custom applies,
And just the reverse is the rule;
If you use the right hand you'll be right, safe and wise,
If you use the left hand you're a fool.
Indeed, a pig would be a nice touch!
