I think that sometimes my 'photographic skills' are to blame , the small 'chromed' Gaunt badge looks OK to the naked eye and has a nice clear stamped member number .
The RBLWS badge appears to be a basic , modern (cheaper manufacturing costs) one , as fewer of these were produced then standards may not have been as high.
