J.R GAUNT & SON Ltd LONDON
J.R GAUNT & SON Ltd LONDON ENGd
J.R GAUNT & SON Ltd LONDON ENGld

There appear to be dots under the lower case letters, but hard to tell from pics.

Thanks for the info

Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim

You should be OK, as regards authenticity, with all the above.

As regards manufacturers of Officers buttons during WW1 period - Gaunts and quite a few others such as Jennens, Firmin, etc.
