Forget about the actual belts for a moment Bernard. Well, we rarely saw them. Think about the titles.
I don't like doubting your memory, which gives us all so much enjoyment, but I think The Ost and myself have demonstrated the World title Norman held when you knew him was called the Junior Heavyweight title.
It was a surprise to me too, as Kent and The Wrestler always referred to Norman as the former World Mod Heavyweight Champ, conveniently forgetting the Junior Heavyweight label.
Norman lost his title to Mike Marino. Somewhere along the way the World Junior Heavyweight title became the World Mid Heavyweight title.
Marino then lost the World Mid Heavyweight Title to Norman Walsh at Middlesbrough on 22nd July, 1961.
As to what the belt looked like. I've no blooming idea.
