Default Gaunt

The Gaunt London mark is a mark well known to button collectors. It was used to fake many rarer infantry buttons (including several pre 1922 Irish) and in that context is to be avoided at all costs. Needless to say, buttons bearing that mark from 1940-1959 would probably be genuine - including the WW2 cavalry regiments (22D to 27L) but beware any pre 1940 buttons (or badges) with that mark. The name of the offender is available by PM to anyone interested. Regards - and still being careful out there- David
