East Anglian Brigade
Hello just wondered what the known list of makers are and how much typically the badges command. I know the Gaunt badges are the most common and there have been posts on the GS Tye but what about Firmin, Buttons etc?
Thanks |

Hi,
According to 'No Bull' Chris Marsh's book on AA badges there are three manufacturers for the East Anglian Bde badge. Gaunt - as you say quite common so low price. Buttons Ltd - i paid £10 for mine in 2020 George S Tye - not at all common, i am still looking for one myself and suspect if and when i find it i will have to shell out at least £30 + maybe more. Hope this helps Regards Steve |

Im sure that theres a blank slidered version as well.
The lists Chris used in his book were from what people had in their collections. It covers most but not all examples. Ive found a number that arent mentioned . |

There are J.R.GAUNT LONDON and J.R.GAUNT B’HAM versions, both are two-piece.
The blank (unmarked) slider version is one piece. Is it a later produced ‘collector’ unofficial commission item? Use of the badge should have ended by the mid 1960s when the Royal Anglian Regiment formed in September 1964? Tim
