Unfortunately there is no way to date most of these badges. Some that have hallmarks or maker marks that are identifiable by period are the only ones that can be dated, otherwise one would have to rely on provenance, which not many have. I believe there were dozens of makers over the years in which these badges were worn, probably many small jeweler firms along with some of the big name makers.

PS, I note that there seems to be far more of these Gordon's 3D badges floating around than the Seaforth's 3D badges.
