An older hand has scrawled "Legion Gold Badge" on the top and then "H J S" on the bottom of the box.

An unnumbered Gaunt British Legion badge with a capital "
B" hallmark could possibly be from 1951/1952 , does it have the Birmingham (anchor) mark ?
I'm guessing that the letters on the bottom of the box could be the members initials .
Spotted this one (on a card) on eBay and assumed it was a Gold badge until I checked the photo of the back of the badge , no number
or hallmark.
It looks like someone has put a basic badge on a card which originally held a Gold one. I have now got into the habit of asking sellers for a rear photo of badges to check fittings/manufacturer/numbers etc.
