Hi Gents,

I have now uploaded fourteen badges into my new RWAFF album project (link: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...p?albumid=3238 ) but still have a number yet to do before I'm caught up.

Makers thus far featured:

JR Gaunt
Wali Mohd & Co, Nairobi
Dowler
Firmin

Aside from maker-marked examples, the (sand-cast) locally made badges are particularly enjoyable as I find they fall into two categories; firstly those that have been made using existing (professionally made) badges as a pattern. And secondly those that appear to have been completely hand-made by an artisan of sorts. The later I personally find is most interesting.

Cheerio,

Roy
