Thank you for your comments and information.
GQ gold badge was given after rescue jump using GQ parachute - in purpose for aviators.
Indeed, the badges were made and marked by Gaunt.
On the reverse side following information was engraved:
- directly on badge - names of aviator and date of his rescue jump
- on "horseshoe" (fastener) - serial number.
i saw also examples issued after WW2.
I have 4 variants of GQ parachutist pin given in Ringway.
