Hi Chris,
Hope you're well ?? I would say the King's is fine, the 21st maybe, the Paddington ?? someone with more knowledge can answer that one, the other two ??? sorry Dave. |

hi,
The small badge , centre top, looks like horse furnishings. Any chance of a better photo of the front of it? Eddie |

Hi,
If you look between the two D's on Paddington you will see a blob for want of a better word. IMO that is not a good sign. Andy |

The small badge , centre top, looks like it belongs to the Royal Sussex regiment ? I agree with Eddie; it might be horse furniture. I also wonder if it is complete?

hi all
thanks for the replies. hi dave, im well but been super busy. will email you shortly i thought the small enameled badge was an officers collar but maybe its part of another item? hi neil, is it common to see a silver badge stamped P and have a gaunt plate? which looks to be itself plated? what date would it be? when did gaunt stop using these plates? andy i also am sus on the paddington badge but will try and get better pics of them cheers bc |

Hi BC
I believe the 'P' stamp on the Gaunt Manchesters is to indicate that it is silver plated, an 'S' stamp would indicate silver, but not hallmarked. Cheers, Alex |

Hi BC
Just a thought, most of the badges I've seen with either the P or S have also had the Gaunt mark stamped on the rear. With the contours at the back of this badge maybe they weren't able to stamp it so a plate was put on??? Cheers, Alex |

i think you are probably correct. given that no one has come out and said it looks sus to them, i will include it into the collection. thanks all for your replies bc |
