Having recently picked up a single OSD collar stamped to Gaunt on the rear I revisited the collars I have and noted that I have have examples marked to Firmin, Jennens & Gaunt, in various formats and thought I’d share them for those who may be interested.
First up are the silver collars.
The top 1909 hall marked collars are manufactured by F&S (Firmin), the third row are marked on the rear for J & Co (Jennens).
The second row whilst unmarked are fretted out between the plumes. I have also found this on one or two OSD cap badges and think it must relate to a particular battalion.
The bottom rhs is the collar badge worn by the 1st Batt’n RSM on white tropical dress c.1923.
