Thumbs up Early chrome badge

Although this badge is slightly damaged (between T & I) it is a great example of an early (1922) Gaunt chromed badge.

When Gaunt first produced BL badges the lion head was attached by 2 wires, when Birmingham Medal Co. took over production (1927) they initially used the same method but after a couple of years moved on to the 'rivet' style attachment.
