Hello Chris,
Thanks for your reply, had Hugh King got the date right for the anodised badge for this regiment, he gave a sealed date of 18th April 1966?
Kind regards Frank

Yes, Gaunt London are earlier than Gaunt B'Ham.
Looking through official info, the Gaunt B'Ham mark was (as far as I can deduce) first recorded in 1966 in relation to A/A badges of The Queen's Regt.
An issue was raised with such marked brass slider badges in tropical conditions.
Basically they fell apart...
Regards,
Chris
