J. R. Gaunt etc.
The REAL key to spotting fakes is to know and understand when badge and button makers used specific marks. Gaunt London is - and always will be - 1940-1959 and no other period ! Please also understand that many of the Gaunt dies were acquired by a spurious party who used them to financial advantage with no regard whatsoever for authenticity - pure greed !!! I am now considering opening a new thread which concentrates on the trend in many posts to over-prescribe the detail on a badge. The further we examine production in the 20th century one thing becomes apparent - the only product to be churned out with greater mass production is the sausage ! Regards to all. David
