Lonsdale with Gaunt plate
http://www.mindenmilitaria.com/viewp...h=55117&phqu=3
Is it me or is something not quite right with this badge? The tail angle and detail overall looks to have more to do with a Taxicar special on ebay than a correct period badge.

This is strange, the tail is completely wrong angle, yet there are the bumps between the l and e of eleventh, (top) and also between the v and e of eleventh, (bottom), indicators of a Gaunt badge!!!!.
Don't know what to make of it. Regards, Bill.

The chemically blackened reverse is a dead giveaway on this I feel. I examined dozens of genuine and restrike badges using various methods whilst writing my dissertation at University and most restrike dealers blacken like this. S.E.M analysis revealed that dairy products are most often used.
Genuine ones always have brass brazed sliders and lugs, without exception and when this is hidden, ask yourself why! Last edited by R.J. Bradshaw; 04-09-17 at 12:18 AM. Reason: smelling mistake
