Having reviewed my badges I am uncertain that he was 100% right about the upwards large font JR Gaunt London.
The theory would seem to confirm my suspicions about my w/m QOYY badge. However I also have a k/c RAPC badge with the Gaunt name running from the bottom of the slider and I just can't believe that it is a 1970s fake.
I have a number of 1970s and 80s JR Gaunt Bham a/a badges on which the name runs from top to bottom while others run bottom to top.
I would therefore advise caution before condemning any badge as a fake on the basis of which way the maker's name runs.
