Few of the QC "metal" as opposed to A/A Household Div buttons are particularly good quality, whether by Gaunt or other manufacturers such as Pitt & Firmin. Not sure the defective backmark would make much difference as it couldn't be seen. Also, there are numerous genuine buttons with the same backmark, particularly anodised buttons.
