Hi Frank

I went through my Gaunt buttons recently to see if the different back marks could be linked to different eras, the only two "J.R.GAUNT & SON LONDON ENG" were both Officers medium sized which made me wonder if it was an abbreviation to fit on a smaller area, but looking at them again there are two dots after the "ENG" one of which which may be a tiny "D"?

They were

The Queens (West Surry) pre 1909
The West Yorkshire Reg (POW Own) post 1936

So pretty inconclusive datewise too.
