I have a number of photos of dodgy makers marks which might be useful to supplement this thread.

First of all a 1950s Large font Gaunt London mark (reading down the sldier) on a fake RDF badge.

Also available in all brass!

Next a South Staffs with the fake ENGLAND mark on its wide tapered slider as mentioned in Mr Archer's article.

This fake KRRC has the same slider shape but without the mark.

And some modern fakes with more inventive names.

A fake Lambournes on a spurious all w/m Wiltshire badge and a fake Tyneside Scottish with Made in England impressed on the back.

Finally the 1970s Gaunt Bham mark. If this mark is on any metal badge then it is a repro made for the collectors' market. Mr Archer's article in unquestionable evidence that this is a modern mark. It is also found on genuine a/a badges but these were also made for commercial sale as well.
