Another dodgy one? Kings Own

Hi Folks

The purge continues, this time a King's Own solid tablet, I'm assuming this is a fake.

It is a cast badge, again possibly bazaar made.

I belive that these might date from the 1950's

Theya re found with the 1950's Gaunt stamp. I have heard it that they were bought in prefernce to the a/a ones but I have no solid infomation on them.

I have heard the same. The difference between these and the repros is there is no proud horizontal centreline between the letters.
