Been reproed to death

Hi

Sorry, I don't like either of them. These have been done to death and I'd want to handle one before I bought it. A JR Gaunt tab like other makers' mark is not proof of a badge being genuine.

Hi Luidgi

Difficult to say from pictures but like most collectors I try to find items with a bit of 'personality' about them, which I feel only the Tower Hamlets badge has any of.

Hi these badges are certainly fakes- its an Officers and WOs pattern badge. Why it was faked in bi metal is unknown.

Try selling one through Bosleys.

Hope this helps.
