This is my view on the makers mark J.R.GAUNT LONDON LTD with a flat bottom G and no full stop after LTD

See https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...p?albumid=4313

As sourced from the PRI (President of the Regimental Institute) unit shop - these badges were ordered by the unit and purchased and worn by soldiers. They were not produced under the MOD contract system.

However, badges marked J.R.GAUNT LONDON LTD. with a round bottom G and a full stop after LTD were probably made for the collectors market as they include badge designs of the late 1960s TAVR which were not brought into use before the units concerned were disbanded or reorganised.

For example: Hampshire & Isle of Wight Territorials and Wiltshire Territorials
