I think we have to accept that they are not 'genuine' issued badges but for all intents and purposes are an example.

Hi Guys,

I agree with everything stated above apart from the Firmin bit.

Gaunt was the manufacturer of his badges - check out the sliders used.

I wonder what else he was 'involved in'...

Regards

Chris
