Any thoughts?
My un named example I am a little sceptical about, however the Firmin example, I am more than happy with.
I will try and post images of some of the badges I mentioned at the begining of this most interesting thread later today hopefully. Would appreciate commentry on them.
Regards all

I know this is an old thread but new information has come up.
Firstly ,the S.Staffs badge in the museum is unmarked. It was removed from the case and checked by a friend of who is very knowledgeable regards badges.
Secondly ,I have just got hold of a marked version of the S.Staffs badge. Again Firmin London and not showing any signs of a backing behind adhered to it.
But the backing on some Staffs badges was separate and shaped and cut to fit. Bess has a packet with said backing in which is a square piece of Holland Cloth.
Lastly ,there was for sale some time ago a S.Staffs anodised with a Gaunt Bham slider.However,the slider doesn't look right.This badge is also seeded.
Here is the link to the said item :-
