Mike,
are you saying that this particular badge made by Gaunt is unofficial or the badge in itself in anodised aluminium?

This badge can be found in at least 3 different makers that I know of in A/A and has bespoke anodised aluminium collar badges for E Coy - the scarce dog gauge collar badge.

6th edition of Edwards (printed 1974) describes this badge and its construction as anodised gold and silver (actually spelling it 'anodized').

All of this would suggest (if we assume accuracy on the part of Major Edwards) that this badge would appear to have been contemporary at least in 1974.
