A Few more RFC Items Arrived - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

A few more RFC items arrived today. The badge on the right is marked Gaunt London. My understanding is that the badge on the left could be Canadian?(lines inside the letters rather than stippling). Haven't seen this style much. The button on the left is marked C&J Weldon. The one on the right is marked J.R. Gaunt & Son. Hoping these are the real deal and authentic pieces. Any help to verify appreciated. Thanks.

They look nice, Weldon's certainly made buttons for the RFC and the cap badge without the voids to the Tudor crown certainly does look to be a Canadian example, not easy to find these days, well done.
