There in is the fun of it. Searching out the gems. That's what makes it fun, and an obsession.....

Jab,

Taking into consideration the comments that have been submitted on this badge so far, what are your thoughts on it now?

Are there any specific things about it that you are unhappy with, or attributes that you feel make it okay?

Peter

I would say OK, now I have the "London" Gaunt reminder as it looks to good for the effort of a fake manufacturer. I would imagine also to fake QC would not reap as much as older badges, when I would think there were more of these around etc.

Right, that's good.

I too would give it a (provisional) thumbs-up.

If you like it mate, then that's all that should really matter.

It's great to seek the opinion of others and to open debate and discussion (that's what we're all here fore after all) but if we all said it was a heap of s**t, would that change your opinion of it, Jab?

Peter.

Same here, (provisional) thumbs up based on my limited knowledge of this period.

Simon.

Not really because i know for a fact that officers badges were issued with sliders,hawever i would of thought it would be in a semi circle being from GAUNT but like alan o states strange things happen.
Anyway i will give it the thumbs up untill some one else falls in and says otherwise.
cheers
