@BobbyBriggs thanks that's good info, those GB certainly look good / in keeping. I was thinking more about period ones though. Do they even ever come up on ebay in 26"?
Are you talking about getting some old mudguards or new ones? If new ones, then GB 650B guards in 40mm width fit an old style 26x 1 1/4 (597) wheel nicely (if snugly), as per my runabout Raleigh Lenton in the pic here.
If youve got 1 3/8” width tyres then the 50mm in 650b are the better bet.
27” guards will probably be somewhat gappy and indeed the frame may not accommodate them without some squishing.
