Thumbs up New additions !

Received these two excellent badges as a gift (Thank You !).

Life Member badge - Gaunt London makers mark and numbered k834.
This indicates post WW2 , Gaunt used the lower case 'k' prefix (later from 1960 an upper case 'K' was used on 'For Merit' badges).

Scottish Women's Section badge - Birmingham Medal and Badge Company makers mark . Silver hallamark for 1992.
Post WW2 B.M & B.C lost the contract (to Gaunt) to manufactuer standard British Legion badges but continued to make special (gold and silver) ones plus some RBL(Scotland) items.

Both badges are great additions to my collection.
