Personally I wouldn’t be so quick to discount the DH. The Gaunt plate does suggest a Territorial commissioned piece and to date I’ve only seen a single London badge with such a plaque v’s several different Yeos.

Well that makes far more sense! Thanks.

I agree Frank, and that was my reason for choosing such a badge for my Yeomanry 1914 album -

Genuine examples are also found with a slightly thicker tapering slider in both GM and bronzed GM. A very pleasing badge I’ve always thought.
