Many thanks for the quick and informative reply Bill. 1958 is a couple year later than I expected.
Were the RCH on deployment to the UK around that time? Commissioning Gaunt to make a die and quality badge with bespoke slider I suspect wouldn’t have been cheap, more so if transatlantic shipping were added, so surprised to hear it’s a kit shop item. All very interesting.
The quality is lovely, you can probably see the thickness of the strike and good detail.
