I have a rough Merchant Taylors and info on Bancroft for you but nothing on Perse.
Will post photos etc. later as have to go SHOPPING with two teenage daughters and wife.
To go on with - OPEN cast badges have a rough reverse to the badges that look like little craters especially when viewed via a magnifying glass. These will be cheap FAKES and caused by small bubbles raising to the top (reverse) of the badge while the metal cools and then bursting. Check out what you have for now.
Links to all anodised badges INCLUDING unofficial commissions can be found here:
