Gentlemen
I would like to share this nice cap badge , it’s quite heavy and looks to be made of a silvered type by Gaunt .
Can anybody tell me about the markings on the back?
Kind regards Chay

Hi Chay

Malta Civil Defence officers pattern cap badge.

I would hazard a guess that the P could stand for 'Plated'.

Definitely a lovely badge Chay!!

The one I own and others I've seen are of a thinner gauge from what I can make out from the images, and none had the makers mark with the "P" at the back.

I'm envious :D

P.S. Could "P" be referring to Prototype??

Plated, for sure. See Gaunt badges with it all the time.
