Hi Mike,

The slider looks modern Firmin and the maker mark characters look 'too big', Slider stamped post manufacture perhaps?

Regards,

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 :-
