Unknown Makers Mark
Dear all,
attached is an officer's bronze Royal Artillery badge that I recently picked up in a job lot from South Africa. Interesting badge, even if the tangs have all been lost over time and with a spinning wheel in a slightly different metal, but the makers mark has me puzzled. I can clearly see 'London' on the right hand side but I can't seem to find it in the references. Any help would be very welcome.

If I could punch myself in the face I would....
All I could see was ROAMALONDON It all seems so very obvious!

It does have a bit of a beer goggles effect

Not at all, I'd still be wondering what "Ramoan" or whatever was if I hadn't made out the letter "U", which rang Gaunt bells straight away.

The mark in the male die has moved up in the strike of the badge..... hence the weird shape.
