Cross Guns by Gaunt
Hi Guys
I found this yesterday in a militaria shop but no one seems to know why it was made or if it is an official badge or just a sweetheart brooch? Made by Gaunt London. Thanks Brian |

Pre WWII J.R. Gaunt had a very active sales office in the USA.

Thanks Marc.... really appreciate all your guys input. Never in a thousand years would have thought the UK would have produced US badges!

In WW2 several Australian makers produced quite a range of US badges also.

Of course, Gaunt supplied many Canadian badges in both wars, before and after, including items made in Canada and in the UK.
