Question J R Gaunt knowledge please

I have recently found in a lot at auction two ford key fobs with the name J R Gaunt London inscribed on the back. Does anyone here know if this maker even made these fobs as I understand this is a famous military badge maker in the main. Any information would be gratefully accepted as this is not my area of expertise. Thanks in advance. Shane

Welcome to the Forum,

Gaunts made all sorts items not just military badges, here is one example:

Hayanacha,

I think if you search the Forum you will find a number of threads on the history of Gaunts.
