Great thread guys!
Pierre I'm not a fan of the Made of England badge you've shown in post #8, they are normally excellent quality (which leads me to suspect they are Gaunt made), the one you have shown looks like a copy of the copy!
See image attached, Made in England on the left, original one of the 400 wartime badges on the right. Ignoring the colour difference which is largely due to bad photography, but look at every dimple, they are exactly the same. The Made in England must have been either been molded from an original of the original die/mold was used.
I still wouldn't buy one from that seller for £600 but you can usually pick them up for less than £100, and are a good placeholder until a real one turns up!
Cheers
Paul
