Hi Gents,
I also have a FIRMIN and a GAUNT example too with slider, so that's three makers that we know of for what should be a fairly scarce and early anodised badge. I recall from another thread that there was an example of RWF made were the flames were distorted and of poor quality - would be another 'example' to keep an eye out for.
I've found R A HUGHES badges are generally really nice quality and an earlier maker - although that is HAGWALTHERS area of expertise at present!
The only other slider anomilliy similar to this is a Grenadier Guards anodised cap badge with a slider and not lugs. This is a London Badge and Button Co example so a fairly late example.
All the best gents
Bess
